[00:00] <Canadian1296> WhiteEye: Well I have no idea how to generate the ssh keys, but I'm sure someone else here could help you. Once they are generated, (if it isn't possible to generate them into the folder), just use "mv currentlocation newlocation" in your shell script (Ex. mv /home/whiteye/keys /home/targetfolder/keys)
[00:01] <vlt> Hello. I installed Ubuntu oneiric. When I try to playback a youtube video in chrome/chromium I can hear audio but only see a green video window. Any idea whether some codec is missing?
[00:01] <zykotic10> Aelingil: there is also an lshw with a particular switch that will show it easily (sorry i don't use lshw so don't know specific switch required)
[00:02] <Nach0z> zykotic10: pipe to grep is the easiest way to do it
[00:03] <zykotic10> Nach0z: if you know specifically what you're looking for sure
[00:03] <Riccardo> hello
[00:04] <zykotic10> Riccardo: do you have an ubuntu support question?  if so, please ask away.
[00:04] <Riccardo> !list
[00:05] <vlt> I installed the pkg “chromium-codecs-ffmpeg-extra”.
[00:05] <Nach0z> zykotic10: sorry misread the conversation, thought you were asking the questions, my bad XD
[00:05] <cipher__> Does anyone know what package contains 'libdlfaker.so' and 'librrfaker.so'?
[00:05] <Chipzzz> zykotic10: you're thinking of "lshw -class video", but it doesn't show drivers
[00:05] <Riccardo> joined hubuntu
[00:05] <Riccardo> ji
[00:05] <zykotic10> Chipzzz: umm, sorry my bad then.
[00:05] <zykotic10> Chipzzz: thanks
[00:05] <Riccardo> joined #hubuntu
[00:05] <cipher__> !english Riccardo
[00:06] <Chipzzz> zykotic10: :-)
[00:06] <cipher__> err, i thought that was the command.
[00:06] <zykotic10> cipher__: you need a | after the factoid and before the nick
[00:06] <Riccardo> !list
[00:06] <zykotic10> Riccardo: no warez here
[00:07] <cipher__> !english |Riccardo|
[00:07] <sdb2> I was doing an rsync from one hard drive to another using the ubuntu livecd and it says it copied finally but the directory I copied to is empty
[00:07] <cipher__> cool
[00:07] <cipher__> :P
[00:08] <spitzi> Hi fatties. I've resized the Win7 partition on my other harddisk. The grub menu appears as before, but now the Win7 entry in the grub menu points to a wrong location. How can I fix this ? Thansk
[00:08] <zykotic10> cipher__: you don't need the | after the nick, only before.  You can use > to send them privately
[00:08] <cipher__> !douchery|spitzi
[00:08] <zykotic10> !english > cipher__ like this ;)
[00:08] <sdb2> is there a command you need to do to commit the changes to disk or something?
[00:08] <spitzi> Is it because I called you fatties ?
[00:08] <Chipzzz> lol
[00:08] <Nach0z> spitzi: probably so.
[00:08] <cipher__> yes
[00:08] <zykotic10> sdb2: sync but that's usually not required
[00:09] <Nach0z> spitzi: do sudo update-grub or sudo update-grub2
[00:09] <spitzi> But I meant it as a term of endearment :-|
[00:09] <spitzi> Nach0z - will try, hold on ...
[00:09] <sdb2> zykotic10: I see what happened. there was a space in the directory I copied to so it truncated "Disk Backups" to "Disk"
[00:09] <cipher__> This is not a forum for you to exercise your sadist tendencies spitzi.
[00:10] <Nach0z> which one you use depends on if you use grub2 or grub legacy, I'm assuming you use the default so it should be update-grub2
[00:10] <zykotic10> sdb2: spaces can be a pain "do you know" how/ to/ deal/ with/ them?
[00:10] <sdb2> zykotic10: isn't it "\ " ? I just tab-completed from terminal and this is what happened :(
[00:10] <spitzi> Nach0z, I too assume that I use grub2. But if it turns out I actually use grub, will update-grub2 screw the grub menu ?
[00:11]  * zykotic10 FAILS with / \ test
[00:11] <zykotic10> sdb2: you are correct
[00:11] <sdb2> zykotic10: doesn't seem to matter which is correct anyway lol..
[00:11] <Nach0z> spitzi: no
[00:11] <zykotic10> sdb2: / means a directory, big difference
[00:11] <Nach0z> spitzi: just try each, won't affect anything if you use the wrong one
[00:12] <sdb2> zykotic10: right I get that but even though \ is correct, rsync ignored it anyway
[00:12] <Chipzzz> sdb2: no problem, really, just rename the directory
[00:12] <spitzi> Nach0z, ok, done. Do something else before reboot ?
[00:13] <Nach0z> spitzi: nope. just reboot. you can check the location of your windows partition in your /boot/grub/grub.cfg against the location in fdisk -l though
[00:13] <sdb2> Chipzzz: yeah thankfully it looks like everything copied to that folder instead.  but rsync told me there were errors and I want to know what they were. I guess I should run it again and see what it tries to transfer incrementally?
[00:13] <ZTZ> i have not been on here in a while now is there still karaoke music on mirc
[00:13] <spitzi> I'm more concerned that the grub-update didn't output Windows 7 as one of the options in the terminal.
[00:13] <spitzi> (and neither did grub-update2)
[00:14] <Chipzzz> sdb2: that's probably a good idea... did you remember to copy recursively and to do the hidden files?
[00:14] <zykotic10> sdb2: lost+found is a common issue for rsync (use --exclude) to prevent
[00:14] <Nach0z> spitzi: it's update-grub and update-grub2, not grub-update >_>
[00:14] <Nach0z> gotta go for now thogh.
[00:14] <sdb2> Chipzzz: I used -aP which implies recursion.. not sure about hidden files
[00:14] <spitzi> Nach0z, yeah, meant the other way around.
[00:15] <spitzi> Ok, I'll reboot. Thanks and possibly BRB.
[00:15] <sdb2> zykotic10: it's copying from an ntfs drive so I don't think there is lost+found
[00:16] <zykotic10> sdb2: that's correct, only on gnu/linux filesystems
[00:16] <zamiel> echo test
[00:16] <zamiel> can i get an echo?
[00:17] <sdb2> in the future, is there a better way of getting a disk image for recovery purposes?
[00:17] <shlevy> Which syslog daemon is most supported?
[00:17] <kfizz> I've written a python script and can't get a custom keyboard shortcut to run it. Using gnome-classic. I've tried it through the system settings and through compiz. I've edited /apps/metacity/ in gconf-editor. I've tried wrapping the python script in a bash script. I've tried about everything I can think of and I can't get it to work. Any have any ideas?
[00:17] <Chipzzz> sdb2: looks like it does the hidden files by default... maybe the errors were links, though...
[00:18] <zykotic10> kfizz: does your script require a terminal?  "gnome-terminal -e /path/to/script"
[00:18] <liberal> test ##nappit
[00:18] <liberal> oops
[00:20] <kfizz> zykotic10, that doesn't work, either. I can run the command directly through the Run Application dialog box.
[00:20] <sdb2> Chipzzz: one of the errors is Permission denied (13) trying to copy some mp3s over
[00:21] <zykotic10> kfizz: sorry, i don't have any other suggestions.  Good luck.
[00:21] <kfizz> Thanks.
[00:22] <mortal1> With this upcoming LTS release, if I don't like unity, is there anything wrong with just installing xubuntu-desktop on top of ubuntu?  Or should I just install xbuntu directly?
[00:23] <UnknownFrequency> you can install the old-fashion gnome directly
[00:23] <alex54321> ?
[00:23] <zykotic10> mortal1: so long as you don't mind extra applications, i'd just install the xubuntu-desktop package myself (for try installing xfce from repo without the *-desktop package)
[00:23] <alex54321> hello
[00:23] <alex54321> i installed 12.04
[00:23] <zykotic10> alex54321: support in #ubuntu+1
[00:23] <Lint> UnknownFrequency, yes, youcan install gnome3 shell directly
[00:23] <alex54321> how can add repositories for amd radeons
[00:24] <alex54321> for having driver updates
[00:24] <Chipzzz> sdb2: that's interesting... I see that the -a implies recursion but also -H (no hard linked files)
[00:24] <zykotic10> alex54321: support in #ubuntu+1
[00:24] <h4ckm3th32nd> Hello
[00:25] <sdb2> Chipzzz: it looks like there were only a couple folders it couldn't transfer.. I've been trying to get this back up and running for the past couple days so I think I'll just take the risk I can't get those ones back
[00:25] <h4ckm3th32nd> I want to add a command at startup before networkmanager kicks in. I was looking at the rc and rc.local can I just add a shell script in one of those? I guess I am looking for the "Right way to do it"
[00:26] <mortal1> Really looking forward to the 'hud' feature, but I have an embedded graphics card on my laptop, so I might wind up with xfce, or unity 2d
[00:26] <Chipzzz> sdb2: can you back up those directories separately and worry about it another time?
[00:26] <ariel__> does anybody know if ubuntu 11.10 fixed the metadata problem
[00:26] <cfhowlett> mortal1: I've also got integrated gpu on my dell 1545.  Just installed 11.10 in virtualbox and it ran with 3d effects...
[00:27] <ariel__> from banshee
[00:27] <h4ckm3th32nd> Could I make a "starup" folder and change init to run the scripts therein?
[00:28] <sdb2> trying to do a regular copy says "Error splicing file: Permission denied" O_o
[00:28] <Chipzzz> sdb2: wierd :-(
[00:29] <sdb2> google says it's a windows encrypted file.. odd but possible
[00:29] <sdb2> ok whatever, thanks for your help.. everything else seems to be in order
[00:30] <Jon--> Anyone know how to query the % of a running apt-get install using ssh? I didn't run it in screen.
[00:30] <prawdnim> hello... a recent recommended update (something about headers and maybe a new kernel) has rendered my system unable to log in. i come to the graphical login screen, enter my correct credentials and it cycles be right back to the login prompt. dropping to a terminal shell i am able to log in. once i do, keyctl_search complains that my private /home key cannot be found, and tells me to use the interactive ecryptfs. i am able to mount my ecryptfs directory manually
[00:30] <prawdnim> *cycles me
[00:31] <Chipzzz> sdb2: i don't know why that wouldn't copy just because of encryption... but you never know with windows :/... anyway, good luck with the rest of the project :-)
[00:32] <johnnyB> hello guy, i need a hand here. I accidentaly formated the wrong drive using "sudo mkfs.ext3 -n 'Label' -I /dev/sdb2" command. I am idiot but i want my data back, what do i do? Thanks
[00:34] <zykotic10> johnnyB: check out testdisk (i've also heard people recommend ddrescue) both are in default repo
[00:34] <Chipzzz> johnnyB: there's also this: http://extundelete.sourceforge.net/
[00:35] <johnnyB> zykotic10: thanks, i´ĺl see what i can do with it
[00:44] <Canadian1296> What's the best low interaction honeypot for Ubuntu (I'm running it on a virtual machine. No harm done if it actually gets hacked.)
[00:44] <ch33z> run maple syrup on it
[00:45] <Canadian1296> ch33z: I'm assuming its a Canadian reference… :P
[00:48] <Canadian1296> Any serious suggestions?
[00:49] <Canadian1296> I've tried Kippo but I can never get it working. All ssh connections to port 2222 (kippo) work, but it rejects every password I give it.
[00:52] <jschall> What's the safest way to install the latest nvidia beta (295.17)?
[00:55] <nardev> hello, how can i list files and see if some hidden bits are set?
[00:55] <zykotic10> nardev: "ls -a" should show all files.  GNU/Linux hidden files start with a . like .hidden
[00:56] <nardev> zykotic10, i need to see hidden bits and to see if stickey bit is set?
[00:56] <zykotic10> nardev: oh sorry "ls -l" then
[00:56] <philipballew> if i am in a ubuntu live usb would fdisk -l show me the partitions on the internal hd?
[00:57] <zykotic10> philipballew: "sudo fdisk -l" to see anything

[01:04] <Guest59982> hey guys, how stable is the latest build of 12.04 alpha2?  Anyone running it?
[01:05] <Guest59982> Also, is there a 11.04 "up to date" CD image to download?
[01:05] <cfhowlett> Guest59982: most of us are not - you should ask #ubuntu+1
[01:06] <Guest59982> cfhowlett, thanks for the heads up!
[01:11] <dullfire> I recently installed Ubuntu 11.10 and have a limited experince with it; but I have some general questions
[01:11] <cfhowlett> !ask|dullfire:
[01:12] <ihazerror> hi I just installed ant and when I run it I get this: Buildfile: build.xml does not exist! Build failed  help?
[01:13] <joum> hello all!
[01:13] <Rurd2di> hi
[01:13] <cfhowlett> joum: greetings
[01:14] <joum> can ayn1 help me with a wifi problem?
[01:14] <dullfire> ok sorry; first off;  Firefox was(but  isn't since I restarted) going dark everytime I right clicked on a link, then it would light up again, but it seemed to be working otherwise, so I couldnt open links in new tabs any ideas what might have caused this?
[01:14] <nardev> zykotic10, it was lsattr and chattr
[01:14] <Canadian1296> !ask joum
[01:14] <Canadian1296> !ask | joum
[01:14] <Canadian1296> oops :P
[01:15] <zykotic10> nardev: interesting, i've never used either of those commands.  Thanks!
[01:15] <joum> it started today... i had wifi working properly and then when i booted ubuntu today, my SSID won't show... the wifi is enabled and showing other networks but not mine
[01:15] <joum> sorry for the lack of irc netiquette, havent used this in a long time
[01:15] <nardev> :) zykotic10 rarely used but VERY important for ext3 and ext4  i forgot about that
[01:16] <Rurd2di> joum: its your network at fault not ubuntu
[01:16] <Canadian1296> joum: It's fine :) and is your wifi working for any other devices? It might be your wifi, since Ubuntu picks up other networks
[01:16] <zykotic10> joum: i agree with Rurd2di, if you see other network - ubuntu would be working.  Try restarting your router perhaps?
[01:17] <joum> Rurd2di & Canadian1296: i dont think it is... i restarted the router, tried both proprietary and native drivers, tried turning off the ssecurity of the wifi network to see if it showed and still no resolution
[01:18] <joum> i can see other ssids of other routers of the same type, but mine doenst show no matter what i do
[01:18] <Rurd2di> joum: can u connect to another wifi pint?
[01:18] <Rurd2di> *point
[01:18] <joum> yup
[01:18] <cfhowlett> joum: is your SSID hidden?
[01:18] <joum> nope
[01:18] <Rurd2di> maybe your wifi is dead on your router
[01:19] <Rurd2di> is wifi light on on the router>
[01:19] <Rurd2di> *?
[01:19] <joum> nope... im connect with both my xp install and my mobile phone
[01:19] <Demonstrate> Does anyone know why ubuntu might be automatically disconnecting my network?? no, it's not my router.
[01:19] <joum> *connected
[01:19] <shellcode84> if is not your router
[01:20] <dullfire> is it an N access point?
[01:20] <shellcode84> your cable modem than
[01:20] <Demonstrate> it's all of them.
[01:20] <Demonstrate> and its not my router and its not my modem.
[01:20] <Demonstrate> it's UBUNTU.
[01:20] <joum> yes, its Ndraft... but i already tried to change it to older versions like 802b/G with no sucess
[01:20] <dullfire> do you know what kind of card is in your ubuntu box?
[01:20] <dullfire> oh ok
[01:21] <kfizz> I've written a python script and can't get a custom keyboard shortcut to run it. Using gnome-classic. I've tried it through the system settings and through compiz. I've edited /apps/metacity/ in gconf-editor. I've tried wrapping the python script in a bash script. I've tried about everything I can think of and I can't get it to work. Any have any ideas?
[01:21] <din> anyone ever had to downgrade nfs?
[01:21] <shellcode84> what makes u think
[01:21] <shellcode84> is ubuntu
[01:21] <joum> its a laptop... i know there is a way i can tell you guys the model/make with a bash command... which one is it?
[01:22] <Demonstrate> Shellcode: because it's working fine on windows..
[01:22] <ihazerror> guys i need some help building some source code. Please help?
[01:22] <cfhowlett> ihazerror: not really that kind of channel here.  try #ubuntu-devel
[01:22] <CT1> joum:  lspci | grep Network
[01:22] <shellcode84> o really
[01:22] <shellcode84> i see
[01:23] <Demonstrate> Yea Im thinking ubuntu tries to automatically load more drivers, and some just don't work.. and I need to disable/reenable it for it to work.
[01:23] <ihazerror> cfhowlett: i need to use a program named ant and I have no idea about anything in ubuntu. i need to run a program
[01:23] <joum> its a broadcom thingy.... how do i copy/paste from terminal?
[01:23] <dullfire> not sure if its a good idea; but have you tried say booting of a ubuntu live CD or usb stick?
[01:24] <cfhowlett> ihazerror: wait one plz
[01:24] <shellcode84> yea could be that too
[01:24] <ihazerror> ok
[01:24] <shellcode84> put more shyt when it updates lol
[01:24] <joum> Broadcom Corporation BCM4313 802.11b/g/n Wireless LAN Controller (rev 01)
[01:24] <Demonstrate> but now Im not sure what drivers to blacklist, if any..
[01:24] <CT1> joum:  highlight it, then use Ctrl+Shift+c then paste
[01:24] <joum> got it ;)
[01:25] <Demonstrate> Also; Does anyone know a good Alt-tab alternative? the one on Ubuntu Classic is a little laggy..
[01:25] <joum> btw, already tried to delete the saved config for my ssid
[01:25] <Demonstrate> Joum you wouldn't happen to be experiancing disconnects would you..?
[01:25] <joum> and creating a new "hidden SSID" thingy... still no success... just hangs theere indefinetley
[01:25] <ch33z> how do i disable the gui on ubuntu?
[01:25] <ch33z> l9
[01:26] <ch33z> ;0
[01:26] <Demonstrate> CH33z?
[01:26] <ch33z> service gdm stop?
[01:26] <ch33z> yes?
[01:26] <joum> @demonstrate: i would have to connect first :D
[01:26] <cfhowlett> ihazerror: the program site should provide installation instructions
[01:26] <FloodBot1> ch33z: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[01:26] <zykotic10> !text | ch33z
[01:26] <Demonstrate> why you wanting to stop,and ok Joam diffrent problem than mine ;D
[01:26] <zykotic10> ch33z: gdm is used in pre 11.10 versions, lightdm after that
[01:26] <mivulf> super or meta - which name is more unix-way?
[01:26] <ch33z> ah
[01:27] <mivulf> *im talking about Windows-key
[01:27] <ch33z> so in the terminal
[01:27] <ch33z> i type text?
[01:27] <cfhowlett> joum: same wifi card - I compiled the sta liunx wifi driver from the broadcom site.  no problems since.
[01:27] <ch33z> im on a ubuntu server 11
[01:27] <zykotic10> ch33z: no, read the link
[01:27] <Demonstrate> CH33z. no
[01:27] <joum> @demonstrate: althoughg, i had a similar problem in an old instalation of ubuntu, i Guess it was 8.XX... solved it uninstalling network manager eand substituting with wicd
[01:27] <Demonstrate> during boot cheez
[01:27] <ch33z> but, i want to disable the gui for a second
[01:27] <Mixmasterxp> for eg. I have to run `coffee -w -c /myProject` and `node server.js`. Each of these are programs which are executed and stay executed until I press ctrl-c to stop it
[01:27] <ihazerror> cfhowlett: i got it from the software center but everytime i cd to the directory that needs to be built I get : build.xml does not exist
[01:27] <ch33z> o thanks1
[01:28] <Mixmasterxp> and require 2 terminals opened
[01:28] <Demonstrate> Joum, Alright Ill read around for wicd
[01:28] <joum> it happend on a eduroam network (its for colleges around europe)... your college credentials should work no matter where you were, if connected to an eduroam
[01:28] <joum> @demonstrate, hope it helps :)
[01:28] <Demonstrate> It's sadly my home network simple/disable/reenable fixes it
[01:28] <Demonstrate> but thats annoying lol.
[01:28] <cfhowlett> ihazerror: seems to be searching for a missing component.  Suggest you run apt-get update apt-get upgrades and re-try your install.
[01:29] <joum> @demonstrate: its worth a try nonetheless
[01:29] <dk85> could anyone tell me why my phpadmin databases aren't showing up on localhost
[01:29] <zacarias> how do you make a pastebin? I can't remember
[01:29] <zykotic10> !paste > zacarias
[01:30] <joum> anyway, does anyone have any ideas regarding my question?
[01:30] <ch33z> ah duing boot?
[01:30] <ch33z> jeez
[01:30] <cfhowlett> joum: same wifi card - I compiled the sta liunx wifi driver from the broadcom site.  no problems since.
[01:30] <joum> @cfhowlett: can u please elaborate? im new to the lingo... :S
[01:30] <zykotic10> ch33z: stop gdm/lightdm if you just need a temporary non-X environment.  i don't know why you have a GUI on a server though...
[01:30] <karl> hi all how we all doing today
[01:31] <Demonstrate> Does anyone know anything about installing Nvidia's Drivers from their website from a (.run) ?and im upgrading from propriatary 173' can anyone explain to me the neccesary steps??
[01:32] <zykotic10> Demonstrate: bad idea, but good luck (i'm no help).
[01:32] <cfhowlett> joum: you said it's a broadcom 4313 wifi card.  I suggest you get the Broadcom STA Linux driver from http://www.broadcom.com/support/802.11/linux_sta.php , and follow the directions to compile and activate
[01:32] <Demonstrate> Zykotic10: the 173 drivers lag Docky.
[01:32] <Guest15017> yep
[01:32] <joum> @cfhowlett: thanks!

[01:34] <ch33z> so yea zykotic10
[01:34] <Sph3r3> hey ya'll - speaking of video drivers, I just installed ubuntu and love it.  wondering if it will do previews like OSX or Win7 with alt-tab if I upgrade from nvidias 173
[01:34] <zacarias> when trying to run gnome-tweak-tool, I have this error: http://paste.ubuntu.com/841168/   Any help?
[01:34] <ch33z> any ideas zykotic10?
[01:34] <Demonstrate> you can install everything through a remote terminal zykotic, and open an ftp server to add/edit files easier from a real GUI pc.
[01:34] <zykotic10> ch33z: nope.
[01:35] <ch33z> have you run the zykotic10?
[01:35] <ch33z> ubuntu server?
[01:35] <Demonstrate> Sph3re no it will not.
[01:35] <zykotic10> Demonstrate: you still aren't using tab, and it's not me you wanted ;)
[01:35] <Scndr> Hello everyone
[01:35] <Sph3r3> Thanks Demo
[01:35] <Demonstrate> I dont use empanthy dude.
[01:37] <willdabeast> Hey, I am having problems with my wifi connection on my netbook. I am currently running Ubuntu Remix. It will show all of the wireless networks.
[01:37] <cfhowlett> willdabeast: you mean 9.10?
[01:38] <zykotic10> willdabeast: like cfhowlett i'm interested to know what version you have "lsb_release -sc" will tell you/us?
[01:38] <willdabeast> cfhowlett, let me check one second
[01:39]  * OerHeks guesses ubuntu-business-remix
[01:39] <willdabeast> cfhowlett and zykotic10, it is actually lucid my mistake
[01:39] <Demonstrate> Does Ubuntu Have ANY alternatives to the alt-tab function? for some reason mine is really laggy and slow. and irresponsive.
[01:39] <dlentz> netbook remix?
[01:40] <cfhowlett> willdabeast: is this a new issue or has it always seemed slow?
[01:40] <willdabeast> cfhowlett, I just received it from my girlfriends brother who works with Lockheed Martin so I have no idea what he did with it. But he says it should work fine.
[01:41] <zykotic10> willdabeast: what is the issue?  did you mean "it will NOT show"?
[01:41] <willdabeast> zykotic10, it will show the wireless networks, but it will not finish connecting to the network. Wired connection works fine.
[01:42] <cfhowlett> willdabeast: "fine" is relative.  If YOU think it's slow there might some things to consider.  Personally, I wouldn't install a full-flavored ubuntu on a  netbook.  Lighter versions are less demanding on limited specifications and resources: xubuntu lubuntu
[01:42] <zykotic10> cfhowlett: where are you getting "slow" from?
[01:42] <willdabeast> cfhowlett, so you think lucid is probably too much for a netbook?
[01:42] <cfhowlett> zykotic10: what he said re: alt - tab
[01:43] <zykotic10> cfhowlett: oh, the alt+tab, i was looking at wireless
[01:43] <sancris> I use oneiric in my netbook and it goes smooth
[01:43] <cfhowlett> willdabeast: IMHO older netbooks shouldn't run ubuntu - which is why UNR came out.  IHMO.
[01:43] <sancris> only software center takes long to load
[01:44] <cfhowlett> willdabeast: sancris: newer netbooks are fine for full  flavored ubuntu
[01:44] <MrKeuner> hello, ubuntu advertises that dell has some ubuntu preinstalled systems. However, when you click the link, Dell reports there isn't any. Why is this mismatch?
[01:44] <sancris> cfhowlett, my netbook is 2 years-old
[01:44] <OerHeks> cfhowlett, ubuntu should run fine on a netbook, that is why there is no netbook edition anymore.
[01:44] <MrKeuner> http://www.dell.com/ubuntu this is the link Ubuntu advertises
[01:44] <kleee> hi all!
[01:44] <cfhowlett> MrKeuner: need to ask Dell about that one...
[01:45] <zykotic10> MrKeuner: i believe dell dropped that offer
[01:45] <kleee> i have an nvidia 8600m gt
[01:45] <willdabeast> cfhowlett, this one is pretty nice, seems to be very quick with lucid on it. I just installed updates with a wired connection actually, that may fix it one sec.
[01:45] <kleee> why ubuntu auto installed 173 version?
[01:45] <Demonstrate> kleee: your problem is 8600 (M)
[01:45] <cfhowlett> MrKeuner: system 76 sells OEM ubuntu installed.
[01:45] <Demonstrate> 173 is a REVISION . not a model #
[01:46] <kleee> yep but 8500m gt is supported by latest nvidia drivers
[01:46] <MrKeuner> zykotic10, I have done this in the past. Constantly Ubuntu advertises some Dell configurations however, cannot locate these configurations on Dell website
[01:46] <kleee> should i use current or post release?
[01:46] <Demonstrate> use the 173
[01:46] <zykotic10> MrKeuner: ask dell?
[01:46] <Demonstrate> Unless you know what you're doing dont even mess with graphics drivers kleee
[01:46] <Demonstrate> you'll end up pissed and recovering your system.
[01:47] <kleee> Demonstrate: ok, but look @--> http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux-display-amd64-295.20-driver.html
[01:47] <kleee> it's so strange
[01:47] <Demonstrate> like i said.
[01:48] <Demonstrate> DO NOT. play around with graphics drivers. ubuntu compiles the drivers that they've tested.
[01:48] <kleee> Demonstrate: maybe there's a bug in Ubuntu 11.10 amd64 with latest drivers with my card?
[01:48] <Demonstrate> and release them all other drivers come with no support, unless it's from the community.
[01:48] <Demonstrate> there is NO bug.
[01:48]  * Lint wonders why ubuntu still doesn't support SiS Mirage cards
[01:49] <kleee> Demonstrate: so strange I can't get latest nvidia-drivers so... I'll leave 173... O.o
[01:49] <Demonstrate> kleee:  I didnt say you couldn't.
[01:49] <Demonstrate> I said you shouldn't.
[01:49] <Matiasu> Hello there!
[01:49] <cfhowlett> Matiasu: greetings
[01:50] <dullfire> Banshee player seems to randomly close. any ideas why? (and is there a log file somewhere I might check for more details?)
[01:50] <Matiasu> I just connected a mobile in usb network mode and linux doesn't recognize it. I did the same from a live cd and it works fine. what can be wrong?
[01:50] <Demonstrate> kleee: there's a reason 173 is in the ubuntu software center, because ubuntu has tested it and they "deem" it as the best most stable release.
[01:50] <MrKeuner> zykotic10, doesn't make sense to ask Dell. They will tell me that they don't have any jurisdiction on Ubuntu website
[01:50] <Lint> dullfire, run it from terminal
[01:50] <Demonstrate> Matiasu what modem?
[01:50] <N3ffa> Dell stopped supporting Ubuntu.
[01:50] <Lint> dullfire, also on its homepage are some debugging tips
[01:50] <Matiasu> Demonstrate, ahm.. modem? it's in "USB Network" mode
[01:51] <kleee> Demonstrate: ok, only asking because jokey tells me "recommended" the latest drivers (current, no post.)
[01:51] <kleee> -release
[01:51] <dlentz> dullfire https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Backtrace#Applications_using_Mono
[01:51] <willdabeast> zykotic10 and cfhowlett, thanks for the help, I think its working now. If it messes up again I'm gonna go with your word and install lubuntu probably. Cheers!
[01:51] <Demonstrate> I connected a mobile in usb doesnt make sense.
[01:51] <Matiasu> Demonstrate, I mean, I don't want to use it as a modem, I just want to create a network in order between it and my computer
[01:51] <cfhowlett> willdabeast: good luck.  have fun.
[01:51] <Demonstrate> kleee: that's why is says recommended.
[01:51] <Matiasu> s/in order//
[01:52] <Demonstrate> Matiasu:  you're just giving us what you want to do
[01:52] <Matiasu> Demonstrate, tell me what you need to know
[01:52] <Demonstrate> everything?
[01:52] <Demonstrate> all i know is you plugged something you named as mobil and it gave you network mode.
[01:52] <Matiasu> Demonstrate, you read wrong
[01:53] <dullfire> I just started it from the terminal; it loads but I get these warnings, http://pastebin.com/i67jbE2m do I need to worry about them?
[01:53] <cryptodira> amd/64 10.10 reinstall after failed upgrade to 11.04..... i have to hit escape during boot, otherwise the system hangs... grub appears and shows a 38.13 kernel as first choice (this hangs) second and booting is 35-32.65...... dpkg -l | grep linux-image-2 does NOT show the hanging kernel , further the system says that grub is NOT installed.... i am unable to do ati upgrades and suspect the kernel issue is the cause.... how do i remove the newest kerne
[01:53] <cryptodira> l ???
[01:53] <Demonstrate> No I didn't, "a mobile in network mode"
[01:53] <shellcode84> dam alot of problems here lol
[01:54] <Ben64> cryptodira: you should finish the upgrade
[01:54] <Matiasu> yeah, it can be connected in a couple of ways (modem, usb network, massive storage), so I choose usb network, then I connected it, that's all I did
[01:54] <Demonstrate> Do you plugged in your Android phone..
[01:54] <Demonstrate> so*
[01:55] <Matiasu> it's not an android phone but yes
[01:55] <cryptodira> Ben64, that is NOT currently possible... i am unable to d/l the appropriat files... FAP will be invoked  :(
[01:55] <Matiasu> (it runs Linux)
[01:55] <Demonstrate> What kind of phone is it?
[01:55] <Demonstrate> i cant just guess dude.
[01:55] <cfhowlett> cryptodira: if you can, boot the earlier kernel option and re-do update/upgrade
[01:55] <Matiasu> a motorola a1200, it runs Linux, Demonstrate
[01:56] <Matiasu> the point is that here it doesn't work but from a live cd it does
[01:56] <Matiasu> I think I'm missing a driver
[01:56] <xSmurf> anyone here uses Xpra? I'm having some issues with the keyboard mapping
[01:56] <cryptodira> cfhowlett, i am currently using the (newest earlier) kernel... re-doing the update upgrade will invoke FAP.... i just need a way to remove the offending newest broken kernel.
[01:57] <Demonstrate> http://kundancool.wordpress.com/2011/01/15/guide-configuring-your-linux-pc-for-ftp-usbnet-and-samba-for-motorola-e6a1200/ Matiasu
[01:57] <cfhowlett> Matiasu: good guess.  however, the moto a1200 came out in 2005 - ancient times in computer world.  VERY few folk these days will be using it in the manner you want...
[01:57] <Ben64> cryptodira: what is FAP
[01:58] <Matiasu> cfhowlett, it doesn't matter, if it works in a live cd it should work here as well
[01:58] <Demonstrate> He didnt even specify what he wanted to do. simply connecting it doesnt solve anything lol.
[01:58] <Demonstrate> No it shouldnt lol..
[01:58] <cryptodira> Ben64, Fair Access Policy... i am off grid and using wild blue satellite.
[01:58] <cfhowlett> cryptodira: to remove kernel:  http://jaypeeonline.net/tips-tricks/howto-remove-old-ubuntu-kernels/
[02:00] <zacarias> when trying to run gnome-tweak-tool, I have this error: http://paste.ubuntu.com/841168/   Any help?
[02:00] <Matiasu> ahm, I have other kernels installed, I will try with an older one
[02:01] <Demonstrate> He's so not coming back.
[02:05] <cryptodira> cfhowlett, thanks for the link.   synaptic doe NOT show the offending kernel that tries to load at bootup... *.38.13... if i hit escape at the beginning of boot.... it drops me to grub... where this kernel is listed in first place (generic and recovery).. neither work... the second listing *.35.32 will boot.... from terminal, the offending kernel NOR grub are found...your link expects a sequence that is NOT happening here.... another solution perhaps?
[02:06] <joum> well, hello again
[02:06] <cfhowlett> cryptodira: 4give for asking but did this kernel come from the repos?
[02:06] <joum> followed the installation regarding the STA driver for broadcom and still no success...
[02:07] <cfhowlett> joum: followed the very complicated instructions to the letter?
[02:07] <cryptodira> cfhowlet, this was the result of using the 'automatic' upgrade from 10.10 to 11.04
[02:07] <dullfire> can I use apt-get to install jdk 1.6? or is there another way?
[02:07] <joum> all i got was blacklisting the ubuntu recommend proprietary drivers 4 the board, and now they wont install using  the GUI
[02:07] <cfhowlett> cryptodira: understood.  thinking....
[02:08] <joum> @cfhowlett: didn't work... sstill not showing the SSID 4 my network
[02:09] <xangua> dullfire: you can install openjdk from repositories
[02:09] <zacarias_> when trying to run gnome-tweak-tool, I have this error: http://paste.ubuntu.com/841168/   Any help?
[02:10] <Ben64> cryptodira: what happens if you run "update-grub"
[02:10] <cfhowlett> cryptodira: I'm inclined to believe that your upgrade didn't completly run...
[02:10] <cryptodira> cfhowlet, yes, it apparently failed.
[02:10] <cryptodira> Ben64, it says grub is NOT installed
[02:11] <socrates_johnson> hello, I'm trying to format a flash drive, but I'm unable to delete about 500 mb off of it...the entire disk shows up as unallocated, but there are still files on it if you open the drive. I've tried gparted and fdisk (though I'm not very experienced with fdisk)...thank you for any thoughts
[02:11] <Ben64> cryptodira: does it actually say that or are you paraphrasing

[03:10] <ch33z> hmm
[03:11] <ch33z> im in the terminal with ubunutu server and it says "/ etc/bind/named.conf." permission denied why?
[03:11] <ch33z> i did the sudo command
[03:11] <ch33z> so?
[03:11] <nathan28> dullfire: [command] &
[03:11] <nathan28> bg
[03:11] <nathan28> then close the term
[03:11] <nathan28> program should remain open
[03:11] <nathan28> or try one of the billion launcher programs
[03:12] <ch33z> hmm
[03:13] <zykotic10> dullfire: what is the command?  "nohup foo & sleep 1 & exit" should work, replace foo with program you want
[03:13] <shaneo> cfhowlett: thank you
[03:13] <cfhowlett> shaneo: good luck, have fun
[03:14] <ch33z> ah cool

[03:15] <dullfire> ok; I really do not care too much what media player I use as this is a new install; however I just installed some other player but it doesnt work with my media controll keys on my keyboard; banshee does, does rhythmbox?
[03:15] <nathan28> dullfire: you want to keep the terminal open to find out what's wrong w/ banshee
[03:16] <nathan28> not bg it then close the terminal
[03:16] <cfhowlett> dullfire: does on my box
[03:16] <nathan28> dullfire: it's possibly you're missing a package you need
[03:16] <nathan28> or need to update one
[03:16] <dullfire> Im actually installing update atm
[03:16] <nathan28> etc., the terminal may give you that info once you replicate the crash
[03:16] <dullfire> but yeat thats very likely

[03:27] <ahaziah77> looks like there may be a tablet edition which is but Im unable to find the download
[03:28] <Archie> why not buy one
[03:28] <Archie> downloads would be un sketchy
[03:28] <Archie> unless you have an ISO
[03:28] <ahaziah77> Thats what I want, is an ISO download
[03:28] <dr_willis> ive not heard if a tablet edition
[03:29] <Archie> have you tried BTJunkie?
[03:29] <Archie> problem is, sizes of the Ubuntu files are ridiculous
[03:29] <dr_willis> 11.10 has sime touch support. 12.04 is suposed to improve on ut
[03:30] <dRounse> which processor is better for a home file server... a celeron d or athlon II
[03:30] <dRounse> i also need one to use as my desktop
[03:30] <ahaziah77> Archie, no have tried
[03:30] <Ben64> dRounse: what do you mean "better"
[03:30] <dr_willis> unless you mean the arm cimpat. ubuntus

[03:32] <dRounse> Ben64: well i need it to be able to stream movies and files, and i dont want the processor struggling to do it... i am currently using the celeron d in my desktop and i notice when i watch youtube or converting music it slows down considerably
[03:32] <damo22> dRounse, converting music is cpu intensive
[03:32] <zykotic10> dRounse: so is flash
[03:33] <Ben64> just serving files is not very cpu intensive though
[03:33] <dr_willis> depends on the codecs and sizes alsi
[03:33] <user___> hello everyone
[03:33] <dRounse> i know that but its like i cant do anything else while im converting or watching youtube.... so should i use the celeron d for my server and the athlon II as my desktop? i will be doing the converting on the desktop not the server
[03:34] <dr_willis> serving over samba  is not that intensive.  vlc streaming hd video can be.
[03:34] <Archie> lmfao
[03:34] <dullfire> how do I turn off firefox's auto updates (there isnt a check box for it under preferances like in windows) or where would be the place to ask?
[03:34] <comawhite> dullfire, why would you want to do that:?
[03:35] <zykotic10> dullfire: firefox will update though Ubuntu's regular software updates
[03:35] <cfhowlett> dullfire: ffox edit>preferences>advanced
[03:35] <Ben64> dRounse: which model processors?
[03:35] <dr_willis> the package manager handles ff updates . unless you installed it as a user.
[03:35] <dRounse> dr_willis: well itll mostly be to things like boxee and other media players for tvs maybe the occasional movie to my tablet
[03:36] <dullfire> ah I see ok that explains it; the reason is I do not like programs just going out and dling what ever they want; but since I told the update manager to install the stuff its been waiting on it fine
[03:36] <dr_willis> dRounse:  bixee box can do samba.  so not a big cpu hog.
[03:36] <dRounse> Ben64: Intel Celeron D 3.46GHz
[03:36] <comawhite> dullfire, well it's updating. You like using outdated, and possible security holed stuff?
[03:36] <dRounse> Ben64:Not sure about the Athlon II
[03:37] <dr_willis> bbl.
[03:37] <Ben64> dRounse: well wow... that celeron is slow.
[03:39] <dRounse> Ben64: i know :/
[03:39] <user___> +i
[03:39] <dRounse> Ben64: is too slow for a server?
[03:39] <Ben64> dRounse: there are a ton of athlon II's though, so I can't tell you how much faster the athlon is
[03:39] <Ben64> dRounse: depends what you want it to serve
[03:40] <dRounse> Ben64: just streaming movies, and files. the movies will go to boxee or something of the sorts and files to my computer and laptop
[03:41] <dRounse> Ben64: it will only be serving to one boxee at a time, also could i overclock it? the case i have for my server will keep it extremely cool
[03:41] <Ben64> dRounse: i'm not sure what that means exactly, but it would be fine for transferring files, not so good for transcoding media and things like that
[03:42] <meskarune> dRounse: over clocking depends on your hardware.
[03:42] <dRounse> Ben64:well i have a Boxee Box and i will point it at my server so i can watch the movies from the server instead of needing to plug in a hard drive
[03:42] <dRounse> meskarune: would it be possible to do with a celeron d?
[03:43] <meskarune> dRounse: I mean that some hardware has a benifit from overclocking. others do not since they aren't downclocked.
[03:45] <aBound> Doesn't overclocking shorten the lifespan of the CPU?
[03:46] <meskarune> aBound: as long as you do it within the limits of your hardware, it won't shorten the life of the CPU
[03:46] <Ben64> the celeron d is such a low performance cpu though, it wont make much of a difference
[03:46] <meskarune> you have to be careful overclocking or you can fry your system
[03:47] <dRounse> meskarune: i looked it up just now and they say that you can overclock them to 4.6GHz but it says it needs better cpu cooling, but the chassis my computer is in has two 23cm fans and two 120mm fans
[03:47] <dRounse> and then theres the cpu fan
[03:47] <Ben64> dRounse: you'd be better off getting a new cpu : /

[03:47] <SirShmoopy> i was hoping someone would have some insight i am missing. i am trying to get 5.1 audio to work on my 11.10 system, but the option is not there
[03:48] <cfhowlett> ana-slman: greetings
[03:48] <kernel09> i kind a stuck with installing ubuntu 11.10 via centos running pxe server
[03:48] <SirShmoopy> or rather, the option for 5.1 through 5.1 nr 3 are there, but not the nr 4 i need
[03:48] <dRounse> Ben64: in that case ill use the celeron d as my server and just hope it works well
[03:49] <meskarune> dRounse: as long as you don't stick stuff like compiz on it, it should fine plenty fast.
[03:49] <dRounse> meskarune: well itll be a server so either no desktop or very minimal
[03:50] <ana-slman> From here an Arab ?
[03:50] <darktomas> Anyone nows whats easyer for my old laptop avi divx ? or something other ?
[03:51] <scientes> darktomas, vlc
[03:51] <darktomas> vlc is the player ^^
[03:51] <meskarune> kernel09 why are you installing ubuntu if you have centos?
[03:51] <scientes> darktomas, either install vlc, or gstreamer plguins packages
[03:52] <scientes> darktomas, oh you mean codec's? well, avi is just a container format, and divx is actually the _SAME_ container format with a differn't extention
[03:52] <scientes> so in that case, its the same
[03:52] <meskarune> darktomas: if you want a light weight codec, maybe use ogg?
[03:52] <tomreyn> !farsi | ana-slman
[03:52] <kernel09> meskarune: i'm setting up for someother servers that i need to pxe boot ubuntu...but i've already running centos pxe server..so i didn't want to build another pxe server

[03:52] <ana-slman> I have a problem in the program
[03:52] <clone1018> Hey, having some networking problems, basically, I'm connected via eth0 to the internet, and it randomly disconnects
[03:52] <scientes> ana-slman, what program?
[03:53] <scientes> clone1018, is there any physical problems?
[03:53] <scientes> clone1018, are you connected directly into your "router" DSL/cable? only computer? multiple?
[03:53] <ana-slman> Jajim program does not work I have
[03:53] <clone1018> The networking connection is fine normally, when running Windows or other things
[03:54] <scientes> clone1018, what do you mean by "randomly disconnects"?
[03:54] <clone1018> I mean exactly that, it randomly disconnects, nothing outside of the network can be contacted
[03:54] <clone1018> and then it randomly comes back
[03:55] <scientes> there are all sorts of problems that could be causing this, I need more information
[03:55] <clone1018> then tell me where to start
[03:55] <scientes> how often and for how long?
[03:55] <ana-slman> Who can help me please come special
[03:56] <scientes> like try pinging your router when you are having the trouble, to see if it is local
[03:56] <clone1018> random and random, usually when 2 minutes online 5-10 minutes offline
[03:56] <scientes> ana-slman, you really arn't communicating
[03:56] <scientes> !ask | ana-slman
[03:56] <ana-slman> Yes
[03:56] <scientes> clone1018, is this pretty much a fresh install?
[03:57] <clone1018> yes, tried reinstalling several times, scientes when it disconnects I cant ping the router
[03:57] <scientes> and since you say eth0 that mean its wired
[03:57] <clone1018> ya, it's not wireless or anything weird
[03:57] <scientes> is it set up for DHCP?
[03:58] <clone1018> yes
[03:58] <tomreyn> clone1018: do you ping the router by its ip address or hostname?
[03:58] <clone1018> And I've tried using my own DNS servers
[03:58] <clone1018> ip of course
[03:58] <tomreyn> clone1018: which ubuntu version and which NIC?
[03:58] <kish> how do i find out what version of ubuntu i am running
[03:59] <ana-slman> Who can help me please come special
[03:59] <scientes> kish, cat /etc/lsb-release
[03:59] <clone1018> oh god, which nic, no idea, built in gigabit, Ubuntu 11.10 running KDE (tried with gnome yes0
[03:59] <kish> DISTRIB_RELEASE=11.04
[03:59] <scientes> clone1018, have you checked log messages for something wierd
[03:59] <kish> how long will this be supported
[03:59] <scientes> clone1018, you can figure out which NIC with "lspci"
[03:59] <clone1018> where will it be? the kernel log?
[04:00] <scientes> yeah tail -f /var/log/kern.log would be a good place
[04:00] <clone1018> Realtek RTL8111
[04:00] <scientes> everything that is in there goes through the output of "dmesg" at one point
[04:01] <scientes> kish, 18 months, so october 2012
[04:01] <scientes> kish, you should upgrade, as that is not a LTS release
[04:01] <tomreyn> clone1018: if you want it detailed: lspci -knn | fgrep -A3 Ethernet
[04:01] <kish> scientes, upgrading is difficult cause       i have so many apps installed and what not. i like this as it is
[04:02] <tomreyn> clone1018: this also tell you which kernel module (driver) you are using. which one is it?
[04:02] <meskarune> clone1018: you might want to upgrade your network card drivers
[04:02] <scientes> or trying a mainline kernel
[04:02] <clone1018> in use: r8169
[04:03] <bascotie> Hi guys, is anyone available to help me with a networking issue? I setup Samba/FTP on Ubuntu but I can only transfer TO the ubuntu machine, not FROM
[04:03] <clone1018> Also the kernel log shows nothing new when the network stops working
[04:03] <ana-slman> Is there anyone who can help me ?
[04:04] <tomreyn> clone1018: okay, can you copy and paste the whole output of the command i gave you to http://paste.ubuntu.com please
[04:04] <clone1018> heh
[04:04] <meskarune> bascotie: check your firewall and router settings to make sure your ftp port is open and samba port is open
[04:04] <clone1018> no.
[04:04] <bascotie> meskarune: I'm getting a permissions denied error
[04:05] <clone1018> I'll try but there's no guarantee I can connect to the pastebin :P
[04:05] <tomreyn> clone1018: okay, it's 4 lines, you can probably type those, too.
[04:05] <bascotie> meskarune: Do the ports only need to be forwarded on the server's IP address?
[04:05] <clone1018> http://paste.kde.org/422000/92328132
[04:07] <meskarune> clone1018: do a google search for "Realtek RTL8111 linux drivers ubuntu" there are a ton of forum posts with solutions to your issue. make sure to use the latest fix (posts from 2011=2012)
[04:07] <ana-slman> Thanks for your help are good
[04:08] <chromaticwt> anyone happen to know, if I delete a pandora station does it delete my favorite and least favorite song settings also?
[04:08] <tomreyn> ana-slman: someone here might possibly help you if you would express clearly what you are trying to do and can't get done / need help with.
[04:08] <ana-slman> Everyone here wants to add just to chat and not for the help
[04:08] <chromaticwt> I'm using pianobar and I deleted some stations
[04:09] <meskarune> bascotie: you need the ports open in your router configuration and in your firewall if you use one. can you give me more information on the exact error you are getting?
[04:09] <didochat> hey
[04:10] <ana-slman> I want someone who knows the program gajim
[04:10] <meskarune> ana-slman: what is your native language? there might be a channel in that language which could help you better. :)
[04:10] <meskarune> ana-slman: are you having issues with your chat program?
[04:11] <ana-slman> I speak Arabic
[04:11] <tomreyn> !arabic | ana-slman
[04:13] <ana-slman> ubottu: Thanks
[04:15] <Nicolas_Leonida2> hey, I'm at the setup, two scsi hard disks, created a #5 partition on the second hard disk
[04:15] <tomreyn> clone1018: thanks for pasting. i have the same NIC as you and it's working fine here. i remember it did cause trouble when i had it in low power / energy saving / green mode, though.
[04:15] <Nicolas_Leonida2> now at grub installation stage it's asking me where to install grub, I created the 5th partition of the second drive for this, what should I enter here?
[04:15] <tomvolek> how do i restart ssh ?
[04:15] <Nicolas_Leonida2> should it be /dev/sdb5 ?
[04:16] <bascotie2> I forwarded ftp port 21 and still not able to receive files, only send them to the ubuntu server.
[04:16] <meskarune> nicolas_leonida2: install grub to the partition you have root in
[04:17] <willdabeast> If anyone is familiar with blackbuntu plz pm me.
[04:17] <Nicolas_Leonida2> meskarune: the one I mounted / to?
[04:18] <theunholy> Hello all
[04:18] <theunholy> I'm back :-p
[04:18] <meskarune> bascotie2: you need port 20 also
[04:19] <ana-slman> There are no support in Arabic
[04:19] <tomreyn> bascotie2: you may need to read up on how FTP passive mode works
[04:19] <willdabeast> If anyone is familiar with Blackbuntu or backtrack plz pm me c:
[04:19] <rootkit> why do people call it ''trollbuntu''
[04:19] <dsnyders> Hi all!  How can I tell which process is pinging an address?
[04:19] <pangolin> !backtrack > willdabeast
[04:19] <Nicolas_Leonida2> so in the second hard disk #1 partition is EFIboot, #2 is ext4 mounted to /, 4 is swap, 5 is ext boot, I can't translate this into sdb# none of them work it gives a fatal error when installing ubuntu
[04:19] <rootkit> is it because the slowness of it makes people want to troll?
[04:20] <theunholy> I setup vsftpd using this guide. https://help.ubuntu.com/10.10/serverguide/C/ftp-server.html and it is not working...i open chrome and type in ftp:// and the server name and nothing...can someone help me diagnose?
[04:20] <rootkit> ubuntu is heavily bloated.
[04:20] <meskarune> rootkit: because there are a ton of trolls in the community :P
[04:20] <nathan28> rootkit: i was thinking more b/c the trolls that live in synaptic
[04:20] <rootkit> ah..
[04:20] <tomreyn> can someone uninstall the rootkit off this channel, please
[04:20] <nathan28> that keep pulling in dependencies
[04:20] <mohan__> Can anyone recommend a file sync tool for Ubuntu ?
[04:21] <nathan28> mohan__: rsync is easy
[04:21] <mohan__> I would like to sync files between my Ubuntu machine and external hdd
[04:21] <mohan__> oh
[04:21] <rootkit> i was having a heavy burtation the other day.
[04:21] <rootkit> i think it was bubuntu made.
[04:21] <mohan__> nathan thanks
[04:21] <meskarune> mohan_: rsync
[04:21] <rootkit> there are problems with ubuntu, i cannot deny of that.
[04:22] <mohan__> how about grsync ?
[04:22] <pangolin> rootkit: Did you have an actual ubuntu support question?
[04:22] <nathan28> rsync -a --delete /folder/to/backup /location/to/backup &> /dev/null
[04:22] <rootkit> yea
 i think i quit trolling
 and build a reputation as a normal regular user :D
 no more trolling.
[04:22] <rootkit> actually i do
[04:22] <meskarune> rootkit: this is a support channel, take your rant to off-topic
[04:22] <rootkit> i still get the annoying audio problem
[04:22] <rootkit> which makes my PC freeze for a second or so, is there any fix?
[04:22] <rootkit> ubuntu 10.04
[04:23] <ana-slman> اريد المساعده

[04:24] <scientes> theunholy, have you set up DNS?
[04:24] <theunholy> DNS for what?  a domain name?
[04:24] <theunholy> oh wait
[04:24] <rootkit> oh well
[04:24] <rootkit> if you cannot support..
[04:24] <rootkit> goodbye
[04:25] <meskarune> ana-slman said that the arabic channel doesn't support arabic (I google translated)
[04:25] <theunholy> hold on, nvm i think i put no local access...and im trying to ftp into it from my host pc lol
[04:25] <theunholy> im using vmware
[04:25] <theunholy> let me try from my phone
[04:25] <tomreyn> theunholy: first of all, don't use a (primarily) HTTP client for diagnosing FTP. instead, use an FTP client. there's the ftp and lftp command line clients as well as filezilla as a GUI client.
[04:26] <theunholy> ok ill try filezilla, then try my phone.
[04:26] <theunholy> brb
[04:26] <meskarune> ana-slman: can you use www.translate.google.com ?
[04:27] <nathan28> rootkit left, i guess he's upset he can't get alsa working in backtrack wubi edition
[04:27] <tomreyn> he just didnt get enough fish this time
[04:30] <dsnyders> HI all!  Is there a remote desktop protocol server for linux?
[04:30] <theunholy> Still doesn't work
[04:30] <meskarune> dsnyders: there are a ton. what are you looking to do?
[04:30] <theunholy> tried filezilla from host pc and phone andftp program....
[04:30] <randomuser> hi, i'm observing dhclient ignoring the dhcpd lease time and sending a DHCPREQUEST every 5-30 seconds; logs on client indicate "bad udp checksums." the connection is operable, but spamming my logs - no problems with other clients on the network
[04:31] <dsnyders> meskarune, connect to my linux desktop machine from my windows laptop.
[04:32] <meskarune> dsnyders: you could check out team viewer if you want an easy to set up GUI. if you just want command line, try ssh
[04:32] <devish> i am trying here to install tor button with minimum install can anyone tell what packages  are required
[04:32] <tomreyn> theunholy: "does not work" is a not very precise error message. did it get any more detailed?
[04:33] <Braden`> Hello
[04:33] <MrBusiness> Hello
[04:33] <Braden`> How do I upgrade only one item using apt?
[04:33] <dsnyders> meskarune, ssh is nowhere near a remote desktop system.
[04:33] <Braden`> It wants to upgrade everything
[04:33] <Ben64> Braden`: you should upgrade everything
[04:33] <nathan28> dsnyders: the ssh box can export an x11 session
[04:33] <Braden`> How do I upgrade only one item?
[04:33] <meskarune> dsnyders: yes ssh is. but if you want gui check out the program teamviewer :P
[04:34] <dsnyders> nathan28, true, but again, it is not rdp.
[04:34] <meskarune> Braden: to install a single item you do "apt-get isntall <program>"
[04:34] <randomuser> dsnyders, also see ssh -X, vnc, rdp
[04:35] <zykotic10> nathan28: ssh's X forwarding is typically not a "session" but a program (i've never seen ssh do an entire desktop, expect by using VNC over SSH)
[04:35] <randomuser> dsnyders, no need to go to a proprietary program like ream viewer
[04:35] <Braden`> Oh thank you
[04:35] <randomuser> zykotic10, i'm running an entire session via X forwarding right now
[04:35] <nathan28> dsnyders: what do you want to do w/ the ssh box?
[04:35] <zykotic10> randomuser: how?
[04:35] <scientes> xnest
[04:35] <dsnyders> nathan28, What ssh box?
[04:35] <nathan28> the linux box
[04:36] <randomuser> zykotic10, ssh -X?
[04:36] <ana-slman> هل هناك من يساعدني
[04:36] <bascotie2> tomreyn, reading about it now
[04:36] <zykotic10> randomuser: and then "startx" that doesn't answer my question at all
[04:37] <MrBusiness> Anyone have a link to a good guide on just what parameters and concepts one expects in a GNU/Linux "service?"
[04:37] <randomuser> zykotic10, xinit -- :1 vt10; ssh -X user@host gnome-session
[04:37] <Raymond_> anybody know of free auto-responder software
[04:37] <randomuser> MrBusiness, read the files in /etc/init.d
[04:37] <zykotic10> randomuser: very interesting! thanks.
[04:38] <randomuser> zykotic10, to be fair, it does not play nicely with unity
[04:38] <MrBusiness> I am reading them, but I was hoping for more over an overview of their commonalities that might answer a few questions/suspicions I have concerning them.
[04:38] <meskarune> MrBusiness: what are you refering to?
[04:38] <zykotic10> randomuser: not an issue ;)
[04:38] <macmartine> I have God (godrb.com)  monitoring a couple resque processes. When Ubuntu tries to reboot, it gets stuck in a loop waiting for the resque processes to quit and they never do. Why wouldn't Ubuntu be able to kill the processes? THhe pid files have the correct pid's
[04:38] <theunholy> Response:	500 OOPS: cannot read anon e-mail list file:/etc/vsftpd.banned_emails
[04:39] <dsnyders> nathan28, windows has a system called remote desktop, which it uses to connect to other windows boxes.  I was just casually asking if there was a server for linux.  I'm fully aware that I could do a VNC and ssh -x, etc.  I was just wondering if there was something that played with the microsoft client so that I didn't have to install a bunch of stuff on the windows box.
[04:39] <randomuser> zykotic10, okay, enjoy!
[04:39] <meskarune> I only mention teamviewer because its very easy to install and set up for new users who just want something to work out of box
[04:39] <randomuser> dsnyders, rdesktop
[04:39] <meskarune> plus it works really well with windows
[04:40] <nathan28> isn't putty platform neutral?
[04:40] <MrBusiness> Well, presumably anything set up as a service defines specific interfaces, and they may all employ certain techniques for tracking their PIDs. I'm trying to write some services, but I don't really feel that I have a good, logical grasp of what it is that I am writing.
[04:40] <randomuser> meskarune, everyone is a potential contributor, with a bug report or usability feedback at the very least.
[04:40] <randomuser> meskarune, unless you point them at something like teamviewer - it does the job, but i would be suprised if it could be supported here
[04:41] <MrBusiness> I guess the /etc/init.d/skeleton is a potential starting point
[04:41] <randomuser> MrBusiness, i suggest you try ##linux
[04:41] <MrBusiness> alrighty
[04:41] <randomuser> MrBusiness, or #ubuntu-devel, i suppose; its mostly point and click support here
[04:42] <meskarune> randomuser: I do not see your point at all. team viewer has its own support website, so why would #ubuntu need to support it?
[04:42] <dsnyders> randomuser, rdesktop is the linux client end, no?
[04:42] <MrBusiness> thanks randomuser
[04:42] <randomuser> meskarune, this is the ubuntu support channel
[04:42] <ana-slman> هناك من هو وقح هنا ويدعي مساعدتي
[04:42] <meskarune> randomuser: a user asked for a simple remote desktop program. I gave them an answer. that is all. what are you getting so upset about?
[04:42] <randomuser> dsnyders, yes. SPICE is nice, if you have the hardware for it, VNC is standard for every OS
[04:42] <dsnyders> ana-slman, this is an eglish channel.
[04:43] <randomuser> meskarune, you gave them an off-topic answer
[04:43] <meskarune> randomuser: no I didn't. teamviewer runs on ubuntu perfectly well, and works with windows
[04:43] <tomvolek> HI, a newbie, i am trying to setup ssh on a host inside the firewall, i have generated ssh keys...
[04:44] <randomuser> meskarune, so I can just apt-get install teamviewer ?
[04:44] <michalchik> Does anyone know of a linux based programs that does what TunnelBear does for windows?
[04:44] <ana-slman> dsnyders: Incorrect
[04:44] <tomvolek> what do i need to do from a host outside the firewall, i am getting error message
[04:44] <meskarune> randomuser: or download the debs and isntall those.
[04:44] <nathan28> tomvolek: you need the address of the machine
[04:44] <meskarune> randomuser: its a linux and windows program
[04:44] <randomuser> meskarune, is it in the repo, was my question
[04:44] <nathan28> and to poke a hole through its firewall
[04:44] <samuel> hello guys
[04:45] <nathan28> and probably really want to to have good security on it
[04:45] <samuel> anyone know if it is possible to change the messaging menu status from the command line?
[04:45] <tomvolek> hi nathan...  i am getting WARNING: REMOTE HOST IDENTIFICATION HAS CHANGED!
[04:45] <nathan28> samuel: it'll vary from program to program
[04:45] <ana-slman> dsnyders: this is an GENERAL languages channel
[04:45] <nivyaj> can someone help me? Evolution always crashes
[04:45] <meskarune> randomuser: they have ubuntu debs on the teamviewer site
[04:45] <nivyaj> when i'm dealing with my contacts and Ubuntu One
[04:45] <nathan28> notification is both script and code leevel
[04:46] <samuel> nathan28, I was hoping that it might be possible with empathy, but I cant find anything that will do that
[04:46] <randomuser> tomvolek, expected with a residential type connection; it means it cant match to an official DNS record. disregard, not your issue
[04:46] <tomvolek> nathan28  i am using ssh -L 5900:localhost:5900 tomvolek@IPAddress
[04:46] <Ben64> !en | ana-slman
[04:46] <tomvolek> randomuser,  i had this setp on a first server bhind firewall and it works
[04:46] <zykotic10> randomuser: that is so cool.  I did not know that was possible with ssh, thanks again!
[04:46] <randomuser> meskarune, if you are in #ubuntu offering support, please restrict your solutions to those supported by ubuntu. If you dont have an answer in domain, keep quiet
[04:47] <meskarune> randomuser: it IS supported by ubuntu
[04:47] <randomuser> tomvolek, do you think it's a key issue?
[04:47] <tomvolek> randomuser now trying to setup a new box and i get this when tryinf to connect form outside
[04:47] <arpitgyl> hello
[04:47] <ana-slman> I want to support the English language
[04:47] <tomvolek> randomuser, I generated a new key using a genkey  for this machine
[04:47] <randomuser> tomvolek, so you are forwarding to a new box?
[04:47] <tomvolek> yes
[04:47] <randomuser> from the router/firewall
[04:47] <randomuser> ok
[04:48] <randomuser> tomvolek, you need to delete the entry for that IP in .ssh/known_hosts
[04:48] <tomvolek> so how do i use the key from this new machine to be used froom outside host
[04:48] <tomvolek> oh
[04:48] <tomvolek> on the new box behind the  firewall ?
[04:48] <meskarune> tomvolek: you need to upload the public key to the host
[04:48] <randomuser> tomvolek, then use ssh-copy-id -i /path/to/key user@host
[04:49] <nivyaj> can someone help me? Evolution always crashes  when I try to look at my contacts. I get an error message saying it timed out
[04:49] <randomuser> no, on the initiating box from the outside, tomvolek
[04:49] <tomvolek> knows_hosts is all encypted it seems
[04:49] <willdabeast> Hey, I was wondering if there is a way to get the interface from Lucid Linux onto Ubuntu Netbook Remix 10.10
[04:49] <tomvolek> upload the public key to the host outiside the firwall ?
[04:50] <tomvolek> randomuser, ok, I am going from tomvolekhost which is outside to Server1 inside
[04:50] <tomvolek> so in that respect what do i copy where ? :)
[04:50] <randomuser> no, the initiating box needs the keypair, the inside box gets the pubkey
[04:50] <linuxlover> hi, i have a conky.sh file that loads the conky monitor, and I would like to load it at startup.
[04:50] <ana-slman> Please help me
[04:50] <tomvolek> ok, so I need to copy the public key which was generated inside to the mahcine outside the firewall
[04:51] <meskarune> wildabeast: you want to install unity on netbook remix...?
[04:51] <dsnyders> ana-slman, how can we help?
[04:51] <randomuser> tomvolek, I cant get any more specific without pasting manpages into the channel
[04:51] <macmartine> Ack, I put a startup command in a file but now I can't find it. It was a pre-existing file. What might it have been?
[04:51] <tomvolek> :) ok thanks
[04:51] <nathan28> tomvolek: the public key goes on the machine you log into
[04:51] <willdabeast> meskarune, if that is the UI for lucid yes, is that the correct package?
[04:51] <nathan28> the private key only goes on the machine you use to log on
[04:51] <meskarune> tomvolek: look up ssh on the arch wiki
[04:52] <meskarune> willdabeast: wouldn't it be easier to just install regular ubuntu? :P
[04:52] <nathan28> your passphrase gets checked agains the public key, which then checks against the private key then back again iirc
[04:52] <meskarune> macmartine: if you remmeber the command, you can grep it
[04:52] <nathan28> i'm not a security expert don't do anything serious on the basis of that explanation
[04:52] <macmartine> meskarune: just found it, rc.local. thanks
[04:53] <dsnyders> willdabeast, Which UI you have depends on which flavour of ubuntu you've got installed.
[04:53] <willdabeast> meskarune, on my netbook?
[04:53] <ana-slman> gajim program does not function
[04:53] <nathan28> tomvolek: if you need to get on from another network you're going to need a static ip
[04:53] <meskarune> willdabeast: I've got archlinux with fluxbox on my netbook. install whatever you want. :P
[04:53] <linuxlover> can someone suggest?
[04:54] <nathan28> there are a few free services that will provide one if you don't pay for one from your ISP
[04:54] <linuxlover> hi, i have a conky.sh file that loads the conky monitor, and I would like to load it at startup.
[04:54] <willdabeast> meskarune, i see haha, wow so yes i am currently at peon status. c:
[04:54] <meskarune> ana-slman: what is the error message
[04:54] <Ben64> !startup | linuxlover
[04:54] <willdabeast> thanks meskarun and dsnyder appreciate the help
[04:54] <nathan28> linuxlover: depends, possibly your .xinitrc
[04:54] <nathan28> tho more likely your display manager's config
[04:54] <ana-slman> There is a problem regarding the program gajim
[04:55] <meskarune> ana-slman: what is the problem with gajim?
[04:55] <linuxlover> hasn't anyone used conky before?
[04:55] <nathan28> linuxlover: we don't know what DE you use
[04:55] <meskarune> yes, lots of people use conky ><
[04:56] <ana-slman> The program is installed but does not start
[04:56] <meskarune> ana-slman: when you type "gaijim" in a terminal what is the message?
[04:57] <meskarune> ana-slman: would you be interested in using pidgin instead of gajim?
[04:57] <jbubni> what do i do if auto eht0 does not get me a connection to my firewall?
[04:58] <meskarune> jbubni: do you mean to your router...?
[04:58] <nivyaj> can someone help me? Evolution always crashes  when I try to look at my contacts. I get an error message saying it timed out
[04:58] <nivyaj> evolution is just super buggy
[04:58] <jbubni> yes it is at 10.0.3.1
[04:59] <damo22> jbubni, is there a dhcp server running on your router?
[04:59] <zykotic10> jbubni: that was a typo right, your trying to configure eth0 correct?
[04:59] <meskarune> nivyaj: how many contacts do you have? are you trying to sync them? can you run evolution from a terminal to get an error message? have you seached the forums? :)
[04:59] <jbubni> zykotic10: yes
[04:59] <zykotic10> jbubni: ok, just checkin'
[05:00] <jbubni> and yes
[05:00] <nivyaj> meskarune: thanks so much. I have 560 in the vcf that I'm importing
[05:00] <nivyaj> meskarune: I am trying to sync them using ubuntu one
[05:00] <damo22> jbubni, do you have mac filtering on the router enabled?
[05:00] <jbubni> i tried ifconfig eth0 10.0.3.2
[05:00] <meskarune> you may just have to let it sync before trying to access it nivyaj
[05:01] <ana-slman> meskarune: See the special
[05:01] <meskarune> jbubni: did ifconfig say eth0 was up?
[05:01] <nivyaj> meskarune: it deletes my contacts
[05:01] <nivyaj> and it also just hangs
[05:01] <jbubni> not sure about the mac filtering
[05:02] <meskarune> nivyaj: it sounds like a bug to me. maybe try thunderbird or clawsmail?
[05:02] <meskarune> though importing 500 contacts will take a while for any program
[05:02] <damo22> jbubni, do you restrict any computers from accessing your lan by mac address?
[05:02] <jbubni> after i typed ifconfig eth0 10.0.3.2 it returned to the next line
[05:02] <black_ru> Hello to all
[05:02] <nivyaj> meskarune:  i get this bug: This address book cannot be opened.  Please check that the path /home/nivyaj/.local/share/evolution/addressbook/system exists and that permissions are set to access it.Detailed error message: Timeout was reached
[05:03] <meskarune> jbubni: just type "sudo ifconfig -l"
[05:03] <bobo37773> black_ru: Hello
[05:03] <black_ru> help pls to grab video and audio
[05:03] <bobo37773> black_ru: Like a dsktop screencast?
[05:03] <black_ru> i do this ffmpeg -f x11grab -s xga -sameq -r 25 -i :0.0  -f alsa -ac 2 -i hw:0,0 out.mpg
[05:03] <black_ru> but the voice is coming from speakerphones
[05:04] <black_ru> I dont need to grab my own noise
[05:04] <bobo37773> black_ru: You mean sound is coming from microphone?
[05:05] <black_ru> to mic
[05:05] <meskarune> nivyaj: well, check that the path exists, and check the permissions for it. :)
[05:05] <jbubni> sudo ifconfig -l returns ifconfig: option '-l' not recognised.
[05:05] <nivyaj> how?
[05:05] <black_ru> I need to grab video and just voice in this video
[05:06] <damo22> jbubni, sudo ifconfig -a
[05:06] <meskarune> jbubni: sudo ifconfig eth0
[05:06] <meskarune> it should say UP Multicast
[05:06] <meskarune> if its up
[05:06] <Demonstrate> Does anyone know if I can install ubuntu to my secondary SATA drive, but keep booting from SDA1 & sda2??
[05:07] <meskarune> Demonstrate: you want to dual boot with other OS's?
[05:07] <Jordan_U> Nicolas_Leonida2: meskarune: grub's boot sector should go in the mbr if it gors anywhere at all. Not to any Partition Boot Record.
[05:07] <Demonstrate> I already do dual boot. my question is can i dualboot from seperate HDD's
[05:07] <meskarune> Demonstrate: I have a sepperate /boot partition that boots all the OS's on my desktop
[05:07] <nivyaj> meskarune:

[05:07] <dr_willis> Demonstrate: yes you can
[05:07] <meskarune> you dualboot the same with sepperate harddrives as you do with the same harddrive Demonstrate
[05:08] <Demonstrate> SDA1 = 80gb, has windows * ubuntu, sda2 = 300 gb.
[05:08] <pangolin> Demonstrate: yes, I have ubuntu on one drive and Windows on another.
[05:08] <Demonstrate> cool thanks.
[05:08] <jbubni> inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0
[05:08] <damo22> jbubni, no thats the loopback device
[05:08] <dr_willis> i keep grub on the linux hd. makes windows happy. and me.
[05:08] <jbubni> eth0 has no inet addr
[05:09] <liberal> eff windows
[05:09] <liberal> it's supposed to make YOU happy
[05:09] <Demonstrate> Also one more question, should ubuntu randomly "bottle-neck"?? I have an OCTOCORE hyperthreaded cpu, but for somereason every now-aand again wheni switch appsor something the cursor will move or the entire system will "delay"
[05:09] <dr_willis> Demonstrate:  your example was 1drive with 2partitions
[05:09] <dr_willis> Demonstrate:  i git sda windows.. and  sdb  linux
[05:10] <Demonstrate> dr_willis: I know what I said.
[05:10] <meskarune> I have 4 harddrives with logical partitions on them and 3 different OS's installed
[05:10] <linuxlover> Ben64, i am new to linux man i dont know how to start sh files at startup
[05:11] <Demonstrate> I currently Dual boot from  the same harddrive, but that doesnt mean I dont have anathor.
[05:11] <linuxlover> Ben64, can you guide me step by step?
[05:11] <meskarune> nivyaj: can you go to  /home/nivyaj/.local/share/evolution/addressbook/system and make sure it exists in your file system. then check the permissions on it?
[05:11] <dr_willis> linuxlover:  depends on what its doing
[05:11] <Ben64> linuxlover: did you not see the link the bot gave you?
[05:11] <damo22> jbubni, sudo ifconfig eth0 inet 10.0.3.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 up
[05:11] <Ben64> !startup | linuxlover
[05:12] <nivyaj> meskarune: i did
[05:12] <linuxlover> dr_willis the sh file starts conky

[05:12] <Demonstrate> So does anyone know How I can improve the randomness of these freezes?? Ive got 8CPU cores I shouldnt lag at all..
[05:12] <zykotic10> Ben64: that !startup factoid is kinda out of date, and non-useful, except for 10.04LTS i'd guess
[05:12] <dr_willis> linuxlover:  put it in the autorun dir ;)
[05:12] <Demonstrate> Using 11.04 if that helps
[05:12] <meskarune> nivyaj: do you get errors from ubuntu one when syncing?
[05:13] <linuxlover> where is autorun dir?
[05:13] <dr_willis> !autorun
[05:13] <jbubni> no such device
[05:13] <meskarune> linuxlover: if you want to run a script at start, ad it to startup with "bash script.sh"
[05:13] <dr_willis> !autostart
[05:13] <nivyaj> meskarune: i get errors when I try looking at my contacts. Either the personal folder or the ubuntu one. And then I lose all my contact (as iin they are deleted)
[05:14] <nathan28> nivyaj: Ubuntu One loses your contacts?
[05:14] <jbubni> siocsifaddr: no such device
[05:14] <nathan28> you might want to contact them about that if it's the case
[05:14] <meskarune> nivyaj: can you let your ubuntu one sync before clicking on anything?
[05:14] <damo22> jbubni, lspci |grep net
[05:14] <zykotic10> dr_willis: ;) that !startup/!autostart factoid is kinda out of date, and non-useful, except for 10.04LTS i'd guess
[05:14] <Demonstrate> *Using ubuntu I encounter random freezes, cursors freezes up, gotta wait a little like lag. any idea why? 11.04 Octocore cpu & 8500GT
[05:14] <StepNjump> Hi guys, I would like to reinstall pulse audio... How is this done please? I have ALSA right now
[05:14] <dr_willis> in the .config dir i think is autostart ir autorun
[05:15] <Ben64> StepNjump: sudo apt-get install pulseaudio
[05:15] <meskarune> Demonstrate: you'd have to look at logs and run some test to figure out what is causing the lag
[05:15] <dr_willis> been in the same place for several releases
[05:15] <Demonstrate> meskarune could it be that i installed via wubi.exe??
[05:15] <Jordan_U> StepNjump: It depends on what you did to remove pulseaudio in the first place. Did you follow a particular guide?
[05:15] <dr_willis> not on ubuntu so i cant check it
[05:15] <Ben64> Demonstrate: yes
[05:15] <meskarune> Demonstrate there was a kworker bug that sucked up a ton of system resources, which was fixed in the 3.1 kernel update
[05:15] <Demonstrate> my CPU is going bizzaraly crazy even at idle..
[05:15] <StepNjump> Thanks Ben... and how do I remove ALSA? I'm sad cuz alsa sounds better but I have problems
[05:16] <Ben64> StepNjump: what problems
[05:16] <linuxlover> ubottu i dont see the boot section!
[05:16] <Demonstrate> well ill run the update, and I'll come back here and let you know. coming from 2.6.38
[05:16] <ch33z> how do i edit the bind directory in ubuntu server?
[05:16] <jbubni> damo22: 00:03.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82540EM Gigabit Ethernet Controller (rev 02)
[05:16] <Jordan_U> StepNjump: Pulseaudio is not a replacement for ALSA, pulseaudio runs on top of ALSA.
[05:16] <ch33z> pleasee helpp
[05:16] <zykotic10> StepNjump: removing ALSA means no sound at all, pulse relies on ALSA for h/w access (one does not replace teh other)
[05:16] <StepNjump> Oh well, I cannot record certain things... Some applications don't work like the morsekob JAVA application
[05:17] <meskarune> omg you are still on 2.6 Demonstrate? o_O
[05:17] <StepNjump> zykotic10 oh I see
[05:17] <Demonstrate> I dont like updating..
[05:17] <dr_willis> linuxlover:  you start that at login. not boot.
[05:17] <Demonstrate> anyways updating be back.
[05:17] <linuxlover> how?
[05:17] <linuxlover> plz tell me step by step
[05:17] <StepNjump> Something happened at one point on my system and I had lost all my audio until I installed alsa
[05:17] <Ben64> jbubni: what version ubuntu
[05:17] <dr_willis> linuxlover:  that autorun dir....
[05:17] <StepNjump> My system is pretty much mixed up
[05:18] <jbubni> ubuntu 10.04
[05:18] <damo22> jbubni, dmesg|grep eth0
[05:18] <meskarune> linuxlover: you have been told already. add your script to your start up. this depends on what DE you are running
[05:18] <ch33z> hmm?
[05:18] <linuxlover> where is the autorun dir?
[05:18] <ch33z> that would help alot though
[05:18] <Ben64> jbubni: you should upgrade to a newer version
[05:18] <ch33z> cuz once i have dns set up i should be set
[05:18] <ch33z> ;0
[05:18] <dr_willis> look in the .config dir.. linuxlover
[05:18] <Ben64> linuxlover: ~/.config/autostart
[05:18] <jbubni> i had the same problems with the new version so i tried to go back...
[05:19] <zykotic10> jbubni: nothing wrong with using Lucid 10.04LTS!
[05:19] <dr_willis> conky docs or faq mention this i recall linuxlover
[05:19] <Ben64> jbubni: i had a problem with my intel gigabit network card with 10.04, upgrading to 11.10 fixed everything
[05:19] <ch33z> ah
[05:19] <ch33z> so do i do that?
[05:19] <ch33z> or?
[05:19] <dr_willis> conky and unity can have issues ive seen
[05:19] <Jordan_U> linuxlover: There is no autorun directory like there is in Windows. ~/.config/autostart/ requires .desktop files, so you can't just put any script or binary in there.
[05:19] <StepNjump> Normally, I used to use gnome sound recorder to record audio on my system... It used to work very well but now I get: Your audio capture settings are invalid. Please correct them with the "Sound Preferences" under the System Preferences menu.
[05:20] <Jordan_U> linuxlover: What version of Ubuntu are you using?
[05:20] <jbubni> damo22: e1000: eth0: e1000_probe: ...
[05:20] <dr_willis> you can put scripts or links in the autostart dir.
[05:20] <ch33z> zykotic10 what do i do? i did the /etc/bind/ but it just says directory  how do edit that?
[05:20] <meskarune> StepNjump: so change your sound settings in the system config?
[05:20] <dr_willis> or launchers
[05:20] <Jordan_U> dr_willis: Are you sure that a .desktop file isn't required for that?
[05:20] <zykotic10> ch33z: wrong nick i believe
[05:20] <jbubni> damo22: e1000: eth0 NIC Link is Up 1000 Mbps Full ....
[05:20] <ch33z> wrong nick?
[05:20] <dr_willis> Jordan_U:  pretty sure
[05:20] <ch33z> zykotic10 what do you mean wrong nick?
[05:21] <jbubni> damo22: eth0: no IPv6 routers...
[05:21] <StepNjump> and when I try to do just that.. .I get Waiting for sound system to respond (when trying to open the sound preferences). It stays like that forever
[05:21] <zykotic10> ch33z: I have no idea what you are talking about, so i assume you must mean someone else
[05:21] <ch33z> lol
[05:21] <StepNjump> and when I try to do just that.. .I get Waiting for sound system to respond (when trying to open the sound preferences). It stays like that forever meskarune
[05:21] <damo22> jbubni, thats good, maybe your router doesnt support gigabit ethernet
[05:21] <ch33z> this is an ubuntu forum
[05:21] <meskarune> StepNjump: can you open amixer in the terminal?
[05:21] <ch33z> zykotic10 i am asking about dns do you know anything?
[05:21] <StepNjump> I tell you meskarune its really messed up
[05:21] <zykotic10> ch33z: nope
[05:21] <ch33z> ah, newbs lolz
[05:22] <linuxlover> Jordan_U i use ubuntu 11.04
[05:22] <SnolaX> hey
[05:22] <meskarune> StepNjump: can you open amixer in the terminal?
[05:22] <SnolaX> lol
[05:22] <SnolaX> xDD
[05:22] <SnolaX> someone plays openarena?
[05:22]  * zykotic10 thinks he was just called a newb :(
[05:22] <linuxlover> meskarune in startup, I add "bash conky.sh" right? and in the /.config/autostart I put copy the sh file, right?
[05:23] <StepNjump> meskarune: stuff like that came up on my screen Simple mixer control 'Input Source',2
[05:23] <meskarune> linuxlover: are you trying to run conky? or trying to run a bash script?
[05:23] <StepNjump> Should I go in synaptics and remove everything in there about pulse and alsa and then reinstall?
[05:24] <linuxlover> am trying to run conky.sh file at startup meskarune
[05:24] <SnolaX> dudes
[05:24] <meskarune> linuxlover: is conky.sh a script?
[05:24] <nathan28> linuxlover: what display manager do you use?
[05:24] <SnolaX> someone plays openarena___?
[05:24] <linuxlover> yes meskarune
[05:24] <SnolaX> :D
[05:24] <nathan28> linuxlover: is your conky.sh in a dir in your $PATH?
[05:24] <SnolaX> whos meskarune
[05:24] <nathan28> is it executable?
[05:24] <SnolaX> idk
[05:24] <SnolaX> ask him
[05:24] <meskarune> linuxlover: are you trying to start a script named conky or are you trying to run the program conky at start?
[05:24] <SnolaX> lol
[05:24] <linuxlover> nathan i dont know what is a display manager
[05:25] <jbubni> connection works if it is directly connected to the modem, firewall running damn small linux connects fine, used to have the same setup, tried upgrading to 11.10, now can get on via firewall with either OS
[05:25] <damo22> linuxlover, you cant run conky from rc.local if your display manager hasnt started yet afaik
[05:25] <dr_willis> linuxlover:  so copy it to .config/autowhaterver  dir
[05:25] <linuxlover> meskarune i am trying to run conky.sh file that is located in the home folder
[05:25] <StepNjump> Even pavucontrol doesn't work anymore!
[05:25] <bobo37773> damo22: Are you sure that is a good idea?
[05:25] <nathan28> linuxlover: what does echo $PATH say?
[05:26] <damo22> bobo37773, read my post carefully i said cant
[05:26] <linuxlover> nathan28 what is this $PATH man?
[05:26] <nathan28> and what does ls -lhA /home/yr_user_name/conky.sh say
[05:26] <meskarune> linuxlover: why do you need that file run at boot though? what does that script do? start multiple conky's?
[05:26] <linuxlover> I AM PROUD TO BE A NEWBIE nathan28
[05:26] <linuxlover> yeah meskarune
[05:26] <bobo37773> damo22: Sorry. Your right. I read it wrong.
[05:27] <meskarune> linuxlover: I see. well you can have that script run at boot by adding it to your startup. do you run gnome, fluxbox, kde, or what?
[05:27] <linuxlover> meskarune?
[05:28] <meskarune> yes? :)
[05:28] <dr_willis> linuxlover:  you may want to learn some more linux basics befor messing with conky and scripts.
[05:28] <zamiel> linuxlover: did you get the answer on how to make the app startup on login?
[05:28] <nathan28> linuxlover: don't listen to willis, just make sure you back up your files regularly
[05:28] <dr_willis> bummer andchat crashed..
[05:29] <nathan28> you can do anything then
[05:29] <zamiel> linuxlover: you can always modify the .profile in /home/(username/
[05:29] <damo22> what is conky ???
[05:29] <dr_willis> he cant seem to comprehend the simple act of copying a file to a dir... thats all that is needed for his fix.
[05:29] <meskarune> damo22: it is a system information utility
[05:29] <zykotic10> !info conky | damo22
[05:29] <zamiel> damo22: its an on-desktop report on stats and other data info... quite handy
[05:29] <nathan28> dr_willis: hey, everybody starts somewhere... and everybody needs backups
[05:29] <bobo37773> linuxlover: Are you only running one conky? Meaning everything is in .conkyrc?
[05:30] <damo22> you cant run an X11 program from rc.local since the session hasnt started yet
[05:30] <dr_willis> nathan28:  and we have told hom what to do.
[05:30] <dr_willis> we told him that earlier alsdo nathan28  ;)
[05:30] <wookienz> guys, some hacker has gone through about 100 of my php files and added a "eval(base64_decode(...." header. what sed command can i use to go through each one and remove the string?
[05:30] <nathan28> dr_willis: yeah i think he might be rootkit
[05:30] <zamiel> linuxlover: pm me if you will...
[05:30] <macmartine> I have a couple commands in /etc/rc.local that are supposed to start processes on startup but they aren't starting. What might cause that?
[05:30] <dr_willis> cp scriptname.sh  ~/home/yourusername/autorun (or was it autostart)
[05:31] <bobo37773> wookienz: Are they all exactly the same?
[05:31] <wookienz> yes
[05:31] <wookienz> bobo37773: the files the same name? or the strong in each file?
[05:31] <wookienz> string
[05:31] <nathan28> linuxlover: you need to fulfill a few conditions: 1. have a legit script 2. have the script be executable 3. have another script call the script when you log in
[05:31] <bobo37773> wookienz: No I mean the string
[05:31] <wookienz> the string is the saem
[05:31] <dr_willis> im very sure the conky faq/docs also menton how to do this. They reccomend a delay in the script so conky starts about 20 sec after the desktop loads.
[05:31] <wookienz> same
[05:32] <linuxlover_> hi meskarune
[05:32] <linuxlover_> the net got disconnectedd
[05:32] <bobo37773> dr_willis: you are right. Always use sleep if you can with conky
[05:32] <bobo37773> wookienz: use -i switch with sed
[05:32] <dr_willis> and i DO recall conky not working well with Unity and the dash when i tried it a few months back.
[05:33] <linuxlover_> meskarune??
[05:33] <meskarune> conky uses a ton of system resources. it will drain laptop battery life quickly
[05:33] <linuxlover_> meskarune i use a desktop
[05:34] <meskarune> linuxlover: yeah, I have conky on my desktop. :)
[05:34] <bobo37773> wookienz: Something like -->         sed -i /"eval(base64blahblahblah"/d *php
[05:34] <syddraf> From the GRUB command line, how do I determine the uuid of a drive?
[05:34] <linuxlover_> http://imagebin.org/198826 this is what conky.sh looks like just suggest me how do I launch it a startup plz
[05:34] <nathan28> syddraf: blkid
[05:34] <zykotic10> syddraf: from GRUB command i doubt you can, from regular command line blkid
[05:35] <nathan28> oh grub
[05:35] <meskarune> linuxlover: what DE/WM are you using? just add the script to your start up. tell us if you are using gnome or kde or xfce please
[05:35] <nathan28> blind luck or foreknowledge work better there
[05:35] <linuxlover_> i use gnome meskarune GNOME 2.32
[05:36] <nathan28> linuxlover_: 2.32? i thought the GNOME devs banned non-3.x
[05:36] <meskarune> linuxlover: then in the gnome preferences there should be session. you can add the script there to start, and have conky start after it.
[05:36] <linuxlover_> any other way? what about startup applications?
[05:37] <meskarune> linuxlover: I mean just put "bash /path/conky.sh" to it
[05:37] <wookienz> bobo37773: thanks.
[05:37] <bobo37773> wookienz: Your welcome.
[05:37] <meskarune> linuxlover: add it to start up applications. it will start when you login ><
[05:37] <linuxlover_> in startup?
[05:37] <linuxlover_> ok
[05:38] <zamiel> linuxlover: you can also add it as the last line to the .profile in the root of your home directory.
[05:38] <nathan28> linuxlover_: make sure the conky.sh file is executable, otherwise nothing will happen
[05:38] <zamiel> # conky &
[05:38] <nathan28> or as zamiel says just call conky ifyou only have one .conkyrc
[05:39] <zykotic10> zamiel: (i'm not sure) but i don't think putting GUI application in .profile is a good idea, i'd image that gets sourced for TTYs as well as Xorg
[05:40] <goose`> with iptables if i block 62.181.64.0/18 would that mean 62.181.64.0 to 62.181.127.255 ?
[05:40] <zamiel> zykotic10: I do it all the time. also .profile is only called when you log in / affects one user not the whole machine
[05:41] <zamiel> zykotic10: although i may suffer from the "works on my machine" syndrome sometimes.
[05:41] <bobo37773> goose`: Why would .64. go to .127.?
[05:41] <zykotic10> zamiel: do you get errors when logging into VTs?  (ctrl+alt+f1 -> f6)
[05:41] <zamiel> zykotic10: nope.
[05:42] <goose`> well how would i block 62.181.64.0 to 62.181.127.255 in one line
[05:42] <goose`> thats what im asking
[05:42] <dr_willis> example conky.desktop file and some other neat conky tips ( not ubuntu specific) googled at -->  https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Conky
[05:42] <goose`> like what would be the range for that, or is that not possible
[05:42] <goose`> instead of creating a new line for .65 and .66 all the way to .127
[05:43] <zamiel> zykotic10: ok, just a small one > cannot open display...
[05:43] <zykotic10> zamiel: that makes sense
[05:43] <zamiel> zykotic10: but that is really minor...
[05:43] <zykotic10> !wfm | zamiel
[05:44] <bobo37773> goose`: I am a little rusty but I think it might be like this -->   62.181.64.0-62.181.127.255
[05:44] <zamiel> oh ubottu, you are so far inside the box
[05:44] <meskarune> no reason not to do something if you know how to fix it. ;P
[05:44] <bobo37773> goose`: May need to look at the switches though
[05:45] <goose`> thx
[05:46] <bobo37773> no problem
[05:47] <nathan28> goose`: 62.181.64.0/24
[05:47] <nathan28> goose`: n/m, didn't read properly
[05:50] <nathan28> bobo37773: not sure about ubuntu but the 62.181.64.0-62.181.127.255 form is deprected iirc
[05:50] <nathan28> *deprecated
[05:50] <bobo37773> nathan28: How else to specify a range like that?
[05:51] <nathan28> well 0-255 is 0/24
[05:51] <nathan28> hold on
[05:53] <nathan28> bobo37773: that's in NFS exports
[05:53] <nathan28> sinces hosts.allow is ancient (and dead, right?) i think it works fine there
[05:53] <bobo37773> nathan28: NFS exports? I have no idea what you are talking about.
[05:54] <nathan28> the range to which you export an NFS share
[05:54] <nathan28> confusion's on my part
[05:55] <ruslan_osmanov> hi. there is system - preferences - passwords and encryption keys menu item. In what directory it stores it's data?
[05:56] <ruslan_osmanov> I want remove it since an old user set its password there....
[05:56] <ruslan_osmanov> * his
[05:56] <StepNjump> What is the best way to back up my system Norton_Ghost style?
[05:57] <dr_willis> theer is a 'g4l' tool i recall thats like 'ghost for linux' but ive never used it.
[05:57] <dr_willis> !backup
[05:57] <bobo37773> ruslan_osmanov: Do you have a program called seahorse?
[05:57] <zykotic10> StepNjump: clonezilla livecd is similar to Ghost
[05:58] <ruslan_osmanov> bobo37773, I think no.I'm actually on debian )
[05:58] <StepNjump> ok so I need to run it as a liveCD zykotic10 ?
[05:58] <ruslan_osmanov> bobo37773, hmm, but it is available. should I install it?
[05:59] <zykotic10> StepNjump: ya, it's a LiveCD
[05:59] <StepNjump> Ok thanks a lot zykotic10
[05:59] <bobo37773> ruslan_osmanov: Well it can delete keys. That is all I know.
[06:00] <ruslan_osmanov> bobo37773, thanks. I'll try\
[06:00] <meskarune> ruslan_osmanov: can you just delete the user and his/her home director if they are no longer using the system?
[06:00] <bobo37773> StepNjump: What do you mean by "best"? Fastest, byte by byte, file at a time, etc.. etc...
[06:01] <meskarune> best is subjective
[06:01] <ruslan_osmanov> meskarune, sure. I was just curious about the keys
[06:02] <bobo37773> nathan28: Did you find an alternate way for a range like that?
[06:03] <wookienz> hi, i need a script/commend that will go through each file in a directory, search for a specific "string", return the file names, then allow me ot use those file names to do some sed scripting on. any ideas?
[06:03] <wookienz> commend=command
[06:03] <StepNjump> zykotic10: Does it back up to a file or do I need to create a partition of the same size for the destination?
[06:03] <zykotic10> StepNjump: it supports files, as well as compressed files.  It also has network support.
[06:04] <StepNjump> Something easy bobo37773 ... Something that compresses the system into 1 file (or a few) so I could revert back to a previous date in case of mishap
[06:04] <meskarune> wookienz: sed and awk would probably work
[06:04] <bobo37773> ruslan_osmanov: On your system is there this folder -->  ~/.gnome2/keyrings
[06:04] <wookienz> yes but how!
[06:04] <StepNjump> awsome.. thanks zykotic10
[06:04] <StepNjump> I'm downloading it now..
[06:04] <meskarune> wookienz: man sed and man awk
[06:04] <wookienz> i have the sed command, i have a find command to find the files, but i need to lnik them
[06:04] <ruslan_osmanov> bobo37773, indeed :) thank you
[06:05] <bobo37773> StepNjump: Gotcha. Yeah I would probably go with clonezilla too then.
[06:05] <bobo37773> ruslan_osmanov: Your welcome.
[06:05] <meskarune> wookienz: you can pipe the output to a new file
[06:06] <bobo37773> wookienz: Are the files located in different places? Like different places of a directory tree?
[06:06] <sixdahs> wookienz: grep?
[06:06] <wookienz> yes, but all under /home/someone/
[06:06] <pangolin> having a strange issue with VLC, I am not getting any sound, nothing muted in alsamixer, tried different settings in VLC prefs, any ideas?
[06:07] <wookienz> presently i have... "find . -type f -exec grep -l "string: {} \;, this gets me the file names i need to work on. I now need to look at each of those files, remove a search string, and add in a new line.
[06:07] <bobo37773> wookienz: If I understand correctly you are saying file1= ~/folder1/file.php    and file2= ~/folder2/file2.php    <-- Is this correct?
[06:07] <wookienz> bobo37773: yes
[06:07] <meskarune> pangolin: do you have codecs installed?
[06:07] <wookienz> but they may be 20 in one folder and 10 in another ect
[06:08] <wookienz> etc
[06:08] <pangolin> meskarune: I have the restricted-extras package installed
[06:08] <meskarune> wookienz: awk will do that. read the man page on it
[06:08] <bobo37773> wookienz: Maybe a for each loop?
[06:09] <wookienz> presently i have for sed... sed -i '/somesttring/d' file.php to remove the string, then sed -i 1i"newlinestring" file.php to add a new line. just need to string all three together
[06:10] <bobo37773> wookienz: You can take the ouput from your find command and use sed with it. Is that what you want?
[06:10] <wookienz> yes
[06:12] <sixdahs> wookienz: sed -i 's/somestring/newstring/g' will replace somestring with newstring
[06:12] <Jordan_U> wookienz: Sorry, I came in in the middle. What are you trying to accomplish?
[06:12] <R3ad> Hi guys.
[06:12] <cfhowlett> R3ad: greetings
[06:12] <colton_> ls -l
[06:12] <wookienz> sixdahs i need that to work on all files under a home directory
[06:12] <R3ad> Whoever it was that suggested a virtnual machine and vnc for running bt5 on my tablet, cheers.
[06:13] <R3ad> It's working fine.
[06:13] <wookienz> can i pipe my find commadn that outputs the list of files into a sed command to work on?
[06:14] <meskarune> wookienz you can use a pipe or do > file.txt to make a text file to edit
[06:15] <wookienz> must be in place as there are a hundred files
[06:15] <sixdahs> wookienz: find . -type f -exec sed -i "s/somestring/newstring/g" '{}' \;
[06:15] <dr_willis> nd has advanced options
[06:15] <bobo37773> wookienz: Something like this -->  http://pastie.org/3378808
[06:15] <dr_willis> find has some neat features.
[06:16] <wookienz> sixdahs: true that could cut out one command
[06:16] <wookienz> bobo37773: thanks,,, so will that operate an oeach line of $x
[06:16] <Jordan_U> bobo37773: That's going to have problems with filenames that have spaces.
[06:16] <Jordan_U> wookienz: I would recommend asking in #bash.
[06:17] <wookienz> sixdahs: how do i run multiple commands under exec?
[06:17] <wookienz> jordan_U: ok thanks
[06:17] <Jordan_U> wookienz: You're welcome.
[06:17] <bobo37773> wookienz: That is just a basic example
[06:17] <sixdahs> like what other commands
[06:18] <bobo37773> wookienz: sixdahs solution is much more elegant
[06:18] <Jordan_U> wookienz: I hope that you have everything in your home directory backed up...
[06:19] <wookienz> the string im looking for to remove is very complicated and i cant work out how to escape some of the characters to allow sed to use it as a string and thus remive it outright stright up instead of removing the entire line and then hvaing to put back a <?php stanza...
[06:19] <wookienz> but if i can figuyre out the escaping then one less command i would need
[06:19] <bobo37773> Jordan_U: Can you explain please? The spaces thing I mean
[06:19] <wookienz> jordan_U: i web server home dir, and yes
[06:20] <Jordan_U> bobo37773: http://mywiki.wooledge.org/BashPitfalls#for_i_in_.24.28ls_.2A.mp3.29
[06:21] <wookienz> here is the string if anyone can escape it and produce a sed commnd to do what i want.
[06:21] <wookienz> http://pastie.org/3378828
[06:22] <bobo37773> Jordan_U: Interesting. Thanks.
[06:23] <sixdahs> wookienz: you want to replace the whole line3 or just what's in the quotes
[06:23] <p1erre> Is anybody here experienced with lyx?
[06:23] <Jordan_U> bobo37773: You're welcome. The entire site is great.
[06:23] <celltech> Is there a Ubuntu 'like' linux that's Not unbuntu anymore?
[06:23] <wookienz> sixdahs i want that entire string removed, nothign in its place
[06:23] <wookienz> every bit of it.
[06:23] <sixdahs> the entire string that is in quotes on line3
[06:23] <bobo37773> Jordan_U: Bookmarked. Man I am glad I use zsh hahahaha
[06:23] <Jordan_U> celltech: That would be offtopic for #ubuntu, maybe #ubuntu-offtopic would be OK, or ##linux.
[06:24] <sixdahs> or the entire line3
[06:24] <celltech> I'm not too happy with an OS that's 32gb's...
[06:24] <Ben64> celltech: what are you talking about
[06:25] <dr_willis> my linux system is on a 16gb flash
[06:25] <Jordan_U> celltech: Ubuntu's default install is far less than 32 GiB. The entire thing fits on a single 700 MiB CD image (given, that's compressed and will result in a few GiB installed, but nowhere near 32).
[06:25] <celltech> I have a 120gb hard drive. and I have 94gb's left. And that's ALL ubuntu
[06:25] <cfhowlett> celltech: your ubuntu is 32G?  you're doin' it wrong.
[06:25] <celltech> I've even slimmed it down and removed a ton of stuff
[06:25] <wookienz> sixdas: yup every thign in line 3
[06:25] <Ben64> Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
[06:25] <Ben64> /dev/sda1                10G  2.1G  7.4G  23% /
[06:25] <wookienz> backin 20
[06:25] <cfhowlett> *poof* and he's gone
[06:26] <Ben64> aw
[06:26] <crizzy> 10gb doesn't give you much space for your own data, though
[06:26] <dr_willis> 5% of the fs is reserved for rescue.
[06:26] <Ben64> i have /home separate
[06:26] <sixdahs> wookienz: it's not on the same line number in each file is it..lolz
[06:26] <crizzy> i c
[06:26] <cfhowlett> crizzy ben64 same here
[06:26] <wookienz> yes, line one
[06:26] <Ben64> /dev/sda2             1.8T   54G  1.7T   4% /home
[06:26] <Ben64> :)
[06:26] <wookienz> but there is other stuff on the line as well, not seen in the pastie...thati need
[06:26] <sixdahs> oh ok
[06:27] <cfhowlett> crizzy ben64 my ubuntu studio with every codec I could lay hands on STILL comes to only 7.5g
[06:27] <crizzy> :-)
[06:27] <hot2trot> my terminal spit out a lot of very useful information... and it took a long time to get through it, so I can't do the operation again and pipe it to less, how can I scroll up in the terminal... page up doesn't work and theres no scroll bar on the side of the terminal...
[06:27] <Jordan_U> cfhowlett: celltech left.
[06:27] <crizzy> i'm having 1tb internal + 1tv external but i still run out of space
[06:27] <Ben64> hot2trot: are you in screen
[06:27] <cfhowlett> Jordan_U: roger
[06:28] <hot2trot> Ben64: actually, yes
[06:28] <Ben64> hot2trot: CTRL+A+[
[06:28] <hot2trot> Ben64: THANK YOU!!
[06:28] <Ben64> hot2trot: no prob
[06:29] <hot2trot> Ben64: actually, that's not working... it just prints the last command, I think it is because I have my commandline setup to work like vim
[06:31] <Ben64> hot2trot: ctrl+a+[ in screen enters "copy mode" where you can move through the history with the arrow keys and pgup/pgdown
[06:31] <hot2trot> Ben64: AHHH i see now
[06:31] <hot2trot> Ben64: worked, you sir are a scholar and  saint
[06:35] <orated> Hello! I'm using this command to rsync remote folder with local folder - sudo rsync -rpPe ssh /home/user/data/ abc@192.168.1.2:/media/NAS0/data/ But after completion of the process, I see slight difference in size of destination directory - 15.4 GiB 1713 files 209 sub folders and the source is 15.5 GiB 1893 files 226 sub-folders. Running the command again is not fixing it. Am I missing any flag? How can I sync it completely?
[06:39] <keniobats> Hello!, Ubuntu 12 is sucking my battery, it lasts 2h30min instead of the 5hs it last on my MacBook Air. Is there any chance to improve this?(I read about the kernel issue but don't know what to do). Thanks
[06:43] <bobo37773> keniobats: What level of cpu frequency scaling are you using? Also try a lighter window manager if you want longer battery life
[06:44] <macmartine> I like how the docs, about where to set enviroment variables, say: "Not recommended:  ~/.profile - This is probably the best file for placing environment variable assignments,…." that's a little contradictory.
[06:45] <urfr332g0> keniobats, it might help to know that the channel for 12.04 is #ubuntu+1 :)
[06:45] <keniobats> bobo37773: no idea, I've just installed Ubuntu on my MB Air, i5 2.5GHz(approx), urfr332g0 thank you! :)
[06:46] <bobo37773> keniobats: Isn't 12 still alpha or beta or something?
[06:46] <macmartine> Where is the PATH set by default?
[06:46] <jameslord> hi all
[06:46] <jameslord> how to restart gnome using command ?
[06:47] <bobo37773> jameslord: you mean logout?
[06:47] <keniobats> bobo37773: yes but this is an issue since 2.6.35 kernels
[06:47] <keniobats> but don't know if downgrading kernel would work :S
[06:47] <urfr332g0> jameslord, do you have desktop problems from tweaking compiz?
[06:48] <bobo37773> keniobats: What part of the kernel is using the power that causes the regression? Like what process I mean?
[06:48] <urfr332g0> jameslord, restarting the ldm though is sudo restart lightdm
[06:48] <keniobats> bobo37773: If I would know that perhaps I wouldn't be here :S haha :)
[06:49] <keniobats> also, it's not only a battery issue, the laptop starts heating a lot and the fan doesn't stop at all
[06:50] <jameslord> bobo37773 not logout, since kde cannot respond, i want to restart it
[06:50] <StepNjump> I tried clonezilla but it is trying to back up all my sda partitions.. I just want to back up the #6... Is this normal?
[06:50] <bobo37773> keniobats: Hahaha. Well that makes sense I guess. Look into cpu fequency scaling. I have not had much luck with powertop but you may want to look there too.
[06:51] <bobo37773> jameslord: Is your computer completely frozen?
[06:51] <urfr332g0> StepNjump, you cab choose partitions
[06:51] <urfr332g0> can
[06:51] <keniobats> bobo37773: how do I look that? sorry for my ignorance :/
[06:52] <StepNjump> urfr332g0: It only offered me to back up sda
[06:52] <StepNjump> I will try again but...
[06:52] <StepNjump> I have 5 partitions on sda.. too many to back up
[06:53] <bobo37773> keniobats: Well powertop is a cli application. As fas as cpu frequency scaling I think ubuntu uses this by default. You know something like performance, on demand, etc..
[06:53] <urfr332g0> StepNjump, in the gui where you choose you have 4 options save hd or a partition or restore the hd or a partition.
[06:53] <StepNjump> oh ok so I need to choose partition... I get it.. thanks urfr332g0
[06:54] <StepNjump> I will try again
[06:54] <urfr332g0> StepNjump, takes a few trys to figure out maybe it did me. :)
[06:54] <keniobats> bobo37773: oohh right, I think I've tested that some time ago, I'l give it a shot again
[06:58] <linuxlover> Hi, I cannot run conky.sh from startup applications I jjust put there /home/USER/bash conky.sh but it wont load what is the error in that? can someone suggest?
[06:58] <jyfl987> http://pastebin.com/m0JeStkP   anyone can tell me why this configure dont work??
[06:59] <mcurran> On startup my eth0 connection always shows connect in wicd-client, but there is no traffic, and I always have to either disconnect/reconnect in wicd-client or do a dhclient eth0.  I've tried disabling wicd-client on startup, and then also commenting out my eth0 in "interfaces" file, but I still get the same result.  Anyone got an idea?
[07:01] <bobo37773> linuxlover: hahaha. Yeah that is totally wrong. bash is an appllication and your home is a path. You want something like this if anything --> bash /home/user/conky.sh
[07:01] <bobo37773> linuxlover: Let me see a pastie of your script
[07:02] <mikas> alguem me ajuda a configurar DNS no debian ?
[07:02] <sixdahs> wookienz: you still around
[07:02] <cfhowlett> !es|mikas
[07:02] <mikas> tanks
[07:03] <bobo37773> linuxlover: You should not even need .sh file extension or to call it with bash. I don't. Mine looks like this --> /home/user/documents/scripts/conky.sh        thats it
[07:03] <linuxlover> ohh i wrote /home/USER/ bash conky.sh
[07:04] <infinii> Hi, I'm having trouble understanding what gnome shell is and how it relates (or differs) from the gnome desktop
[07:04] <bobo37773> linuxlover: Where is your script? Also does the first line say --> #!/bin/bash     ?
[07:04] <linuxlover> what does ur cony.sh file contain?same as mine?multiple conkys?
[07:04] <linuxlover> wait i will give u
[07:06] <linuxlover> #### conky.sh
[07:06] <bobo37773> linuxlover: Here is mine http://pastie.org/3378986
[07:06] <linuxlover> then 2nd line
[07:07] <linuxlover> #!/bin/bash
[07:07] <whumphrey_> Anyone available to help a newer user to linux? Read the forums and how to's for installing a wireless adapter and have reached a point where I need help
[07:08] <linuxlover> http://pastie.org/3378992 mine is like this is that ok?
[07:09] <bobo37773> linuxlover: No it's not. Delete the first line completely
[07:09] <linuxlover> ok
[07:09] <linuxlover> any other changes?
[07:10] <FatsDT> Ok.  I've screwed things up now.   I've got a "grub rescue>" prompt after powering on.
[07:10] <bobo37773> linuxlover: Notice how line one calls the interpreter "/bin/bash". All you need to add to your start up is the path to your script.
[07:10] <FatsDT> That follows "error: file not found."
[07:10] <bobo37773> linuxlover: Where is your script located?
[07:11] <FatsDT> I can "ls (hd0,1)/boot/grub/"  and see all the grub modules
[07:11] <linuxlover> right in the home folder by the name of conky.sh
[07:11] <FatsDT> but "insmod (hd0,1)/boot/grub/normal.mod" just yields "error: file not found"
[07:12] <wookienz> sixdahs_: just back
[07:12] <whumphrey_> if anyone could offer assistance I would be very grateful
[07:12] <bobo37773> linuxlover: Open a terminal and type --> /home/username/conky.sh
[07:13] <bobo37773> linuxlover: Does your conky run with this command?
[07:13] <hardwired> 'llo. I need to get a newer version of a package than I get with standard 'apt-get install package'. How do I do that?
[07:13] <linuxlover> i  usually run  with sh conky.sh and it opens but now that i changed the script i dont know what to expect
[07:14] <punkmexic> can someone tell me how to edit grub so win7 is default
[07:14] <cfhowlett> hardwired: find/download the .deb package.  sudo dpkg -i packagename.deb
[07:14] <bobo37773> linuxlover: Open a terminal and just type the path/to/script and hit enter. Does your conky load?
[07:15] <hardwired> cfhowlett: OK, sounds easy enough. Will it not get overwritten at the next update?
[07:15] <cfhowlett> hardwired: quite possibly.
[07:15] <FatsDT> woot... found typo and progress is made
[07:15] <cfhowlett> hardwired: you CAN selectively upgrade...
[07:15] <linuxlover> hey conky started !!!
[07:15] <hardwired> cfhowlett: ok, good enough, thanks!
[07:16] <truesky> good evening everyone!
[07:16] <punkmexic> can someone tell me how to edit grub so win7 is default}
[07:17] <truesky> does anybody have some experience with chromium browser? I does not seem to be updating... I have the dev version, but it is not updating. im on version 17, and the newest dev is 18. Anyone have any thoughts?
[07:17] <maletor> Can somebody advise how to write this? https://gist.github.com/1824441
[07:17] <lonejack> Hi, can somebody help me on directory permission prob? My question regard apache. The web server can't access to my area. I did just a cmd test: sudo su www-data and then ls my/home/public_html->not allowed(but that directory has owner www-data). Why?

[07:17] <linuxlover> yeah man
[07:18] <blah> hey guys i created a few debdiffs and i wanna make a deb out of it - however on doing "pbuilder create" it downloads quite a few packages. do i have to do the same thing everytime i wish to create a deb package? what am i missing?
[07:18] <blah> i followed the instructions here => https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide/HandsOn
[07:18] <SHOVELL> !stats
[07:18] <bobo37773> linuxlover: There you go. Now in your startup just put -->   /path/to/script/conky.sh
[07:19] <linuxlover> done
[07:19] <bobo37773> linuxlover: That's it. I use sleep in my script. You may need to look into it later. Don't forget it.
[07:19] <bobo37773> linuxlover: Reboot and test.
[07:21] <linuxlover> bobo37773, thanks a lot man i had been struggling to start conky at startup for more than 3 hours u solved my issue in an instant thanks a lot dude
[07:21] <linuxlover> and cfhowlett thanks for that pic, YYYYEEEESSSS!!!!
[07:21] <cfhowlett> linuxlover: good luck/have fun
[07:22] <linuxlover> hey guys just need some suggestion, which dock is better? dockbarx or cairo-dock?

[07:23] <linuxlover> any suggestions?
[07:24] <zykotick9> linuxlover: which is better?  apples or oranges?
[07:24] <linuxlover> hehehehe
[07:24] <linuxlover> can u suggest?
[07:24] <zykotick9> linuxlover: personally, i like apples better.
[07:25] <hardwired> cfhowlett: wohooo! The new version fixed the bug that was giving me problems for days, sweet!
[07:25] <linuxlover> zykotick9 i personally love all fruits[dont wanna get old quickly] hehehehe
[07:25] <bobo37773> linuxlover: I like wbar the best. I am a minimalist though
[07:26] <linuxlover> abhinav_singh kaise ho
[07:26] <linuxlover> bobo37773: ohh
[07:28] <linuxlover> do you have some custom plymouth screens you would like to share with me? bobo37773
[07:28] <jyfl987> part
[07:29] <Xgates> hi guys
[07:29] <punkmexic> can someone tell me how to edit grub so win7 is default}
[07:29] <Xgates> can anyone tell me for LUKS where I can find the latest information on Ubuntu's site/wiki for setting up LUKS?
[07:30] <urfr332g0> punkmexic, take a look at GUI Apps for Grub 2 - Finally some apps for the GUI enthusiast!  here. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1195275
[07:30] <linuxlover> ok  bye, have to check conky bobo37773 see ya later
[07:30] <anoc> i have private virtual server that have basc script icon on desktop i need to run often. It uses sudo command and asks pw each time. How can i make it so that wont ask password?
[07:30] <Daniel_WMDE_> hi all. enigmail for thunderbird seems to remember my passphrase indefinitly. i don't want that. it tells me that i'm using gnupg-agent or some such, and I have to configure passphrase retention there.
[07:30] <Daniel_WMDE_> i don't have gnupg-agent installed though
[07:31] <Daniel_WMDE_> what does ubuntu use for managing gnupg passphrase access?
[07:31] <Daniel_WMDE_> where to i configure the timeout?
[07:31] <Ben64> anoc: why do you run gui on a vps? what does the script do?
[07:31] <Jordan_U> punkmexic: Edit GRUB_DEFAULT in /etc/default/grub as explained here: http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/grub.html#Simple-configuration then run "sudo update-grub".
[07:31] <whumphrey_> Anyone available to help a newer user to linux? Read the forums and how to's for installing a wireless adapter and have reached a point where I need help
[07:31] <bobo37773> linuxlover: Take care.
[07:32] <Daniel_WMDE_> ...gpgsm isn't installed either
[07:32] <hardwired> Daniel_WMDE_: probably v in gpg-agent.conf
[07:32] <anoc> the script updates clock. my old vmware lags the time and cannot be upgraded. so clicking the update time upc script is easy fix.
[07:32] <Daniel_WMDE_> hardwired: but gnupg-agent isn't installed...
[07:32] <bobo37773> linuxlover: I do not use plymouth sorry
[07:32] <hardwired> hardwired: Daniel_WMDE_ , sorry, i meant: probably default-cache-ttl in gpg-agent.conf
[07:32] <Daniel_WMDE_> will have a look anyway
[07:32] <hardwired> Daniel_WMDE_: maybe it comes bundled with gpg
[07:33] <hardwired> Daniel_WMDE_: look for .gnupg in your homedir
[07:33] <Daniel_WMDE_> hardwired: i don't see that file in /etc
[07:33] <Daniel_WMDE_> hardwired: find /etc -name gpg-agent.conf  <-- nothing
[07:33] <punkmexic> Jordan_U, i use grub 2 maybe
[07:33] <hardwired> Daniel_WMDE_: do that find in your homedir again?
[07:33] <Jordan_U> punkmexic: Yes, that is the default for Ubuntu and I linked to grub2 documentation.
[07:34] <theixle> I am, all of a sudden, not able to establish a good connection with telnet to a host I've been able to connect to fine for months. It says connected but "freezes" afterwards. Can anyone help me troubleshoot?
[07:34] <Daniel_WMDE_> hardwired: .gnupg/gpg.conf exists. use-agent is commented out.
[07:34] <Ben64> anoc: you could set root's crontab to update the time
[07:34] <punkmexic> http://pastebin.com/aVc4ZHRA
[07:34] <hardwired> Daniel_WMDE_: hold on, I'll check my stuff
[07:34] <anoc> Ben64: did that but wont work somehow. tried many guides from various forums.
[07:34] <punkmexic> thanks urfr332g0
[07:35] <Daniel_WMDE_> hardwired: when i try to use gpg on the command line, *noi* agent is used.
[07:35] <Daniel_WMDE_> this is strange
[07:35] <urfr332g0> punkmexic, you might look at Jordan_U link as well.
[07:35] <Daniel_WMDE_> enigmail seems to interact with a passphrase agent, but gpg on the command line doesn't
[07:35] <Daniel_WMDE_> wtf?
[07:35] <SubjectOne> heyah Daniel_WMDE_, i have sinds today the same problem
[07:35] <hardwired> Daniel_WMDE_: it could be enigmail caches your pw without gpg agent, why not?
[07:36] <theixle> Btw, this is in Ubuntu 10.04.3 L
[07:36] <Daniel_WMDE_> SubjectOne: i have first noticved yesterday. somethign is strange...
[07:36] <SubjectOne> gpg no longer want to work via cli
[07:36] <Daniel_WMDE_> hardwired: because when i try to change enigmails setting, it explicitly tells me that it can't because i'm using an agent and i need to go there to change the sessing.
[07:36] <anoc> can't i just somehow save the sudo pass into this script line??: sudo ntpdate time1.mikes.fi
[07:36] <Daniel_WMDE_> hardwired: now, that *could* be an enigmail bug. but...
[07:36] <punkmexic> i understand english but not grub language :p
[07:36] <punkmexic> can someone help me edit my grub? http://pastebin.com/aVc4ZHRA
[07:36] <SubjectOne> does that means it has a homecall service ? build in ?
[07:37] <SubjectOne> i just got a verry creepy feeling about this
[07:37] <hardwired> Daniel_WMDE_: what does ps acx|grep agent  tell you? is the agent running?
[07:37] <Ben64> anoc: no, the best way is root's crontab like i said
[07:37] <Daniel_WMDE_> hardwired: ssh-agent is running, as expected. nothign else
[07:38] <Daniel_WMDE_> or do ssh and gnupg share an agent now?
[07:38] <Daniel_WMDE_> in theory, that sounds like a nice idea
[07:38] <Daniel_WMDE_> but.
[07:38] <Jordan_U> punkmexic: Change GRUB_DEFAULT=0 in /etc/default/grub to GRUB_DEFAULT="Windows 7 (loader) (on /dev/sda1)"    then run "sudo update-grub".
[07:38] <theixle> Also, if this is not the appropriate channel for networking related questions, please point me in the right direction.
[07:38] <bobo37773> Is ssh built into the kernel now?
[07:38] <Daniel_WMDE_> i don't want gpg top use an agent!
[07:38] <hardwired> Daniel_WMDE_: I'd get the agent running (it's handy if you use gnupg in more than one program). That my just solve your problem.
[07:38] <bobo37773> By default I mean.
[07:38] <zykotick9> anoc: there is some way to add commands to sudoers so passwords aren't required.  Sorry i don't know how off the top of my head.
[07:39] <fidel> ahoi
[07:39] <punkmexic> so i dont need to edit grub.cfg Jordan_U ???
[07:39] <Daniel_WMDE_> hardwired: i could get the agent up and set it to a very short timeout.... that would kind of solve my problem
[07:39] <Daniel_WMDE_> but...
[07:39] <hardwired> Daniel_WMDE_: oh sorry :-) didn't mean to suggest a "solution" you don't want.
[07:39] <Daniel_WMDE_> some recent upgrade to ubuntu causes enigmal to cache passphrases forever
[07:39] <Daniel_WMDE_> this is a BIG security problem!°
[07:39] <hardwired> Daniel_WMDE_: I trust the agent more than enigmail to keep my passphrase securely in memory...
[07:40] <bobo37773> anoc: echo password | sudo -S command
[07:40] <Jordan_U> punkmexic: You never edit /boot/grub/grub.cfg. The proper place for changing grub preferences like this is /etc/default/grub.
[07:40] <Daniel_WMDE_> hardwired: yea, perhaps. what scares me is that currently, it's in memory forever.
[07:40] <Daniel_WMDE_> it doesn't time out
[07:40] <Ben64> bobo37773: thats incredibly dangerous
[07:40] <Daniel_WMDE_> hardwired, SubjectOne: where should we report the issue? enigmail? ubuntu?
[07:40] <bobo37773> Ben64: Eh. I use it all the time. Why is it extremely dangerous?
[07:41] <Ben64> having your password saved in cleartext :|
[07:41] <Ben64> its like "here, please hack me!"
[07:41] <punkmexic> i have GRUB_DEFAULT=8 that i need to change it to GRUB_DEFAULT="Windows 7 (loader) (on /dev/sda1)"  ??¡¡
[07:41] <bobo37773> Ben64: I am the only one on my computer. Physical access == game over anyways. what's the difference?
[07:42] <Jordan_U> punkmexic: Correct.
[07:42] <hardwired> Daniel_WMDE_: no idea.
[07:42] <Ben64> bobo37773: its a very bad method, and physical access isn't the only way that would mess you up
[07:43] <bobo37773> Ben64: Could you elaborate a little? Like a scenario or something?
[07:43] <Ben64> just don't give bad advice like that to people here
[07:43] <anoc> Ben64: Thanks. Now i made a sudo crontab and put the script there. lets wait and see does it run. Do i need to restart/reload crontab somehow?
[07:44] <punkmexic> Jordan_U, how do i know if i should put  GRUB_DEFAULT=1 or  GRUB_DEFAULT=2 if i want to put ubuntu again as default?
[07:44] <Ben64> anoc: no, crontab goes all the time. what you should have in it though is "ntpdate <server>" don't run the script from cron
[07:44] <zykotick9> Ben64: not sure if it applies, but if you use ntpd you should not be using ntpdate
[07:44] <Jordan_U> punkmexic: Ubuntu will be the first menu entry, and since menu entries are counted from 0, that would mean that to restore Ubuntu as default you would put GRUB_DEFAULT=0
[07:45] <whumphrey_> Anyone willing to help me?
[07:45] <zamiel> bobo37773: if you want to leave files around with root passwords that unprivledged users can gain access to --> then gain root. its your adventure... just very unsafe...
[07:45] <Ben64> zykotick9: yeah i'm not sure how his setup is, but he had a script using ntpdate and apparently worked
[07:45] <punkmexic> ok ill reboot to see if it worked
[07:45] <canadacow> exit
[07:45] <bobo37773> Ben64: I do not think it is bad advice. I thought it was a simple answer to a simple question.
[07:45] <zykotick9> anoc: do you use ntpd?
[07:46] <anoc> my command currently is sudo ntpdate time1.mikes.fi and it has worked ok
[07:46] <Ben64> bobo37773: its like leaving the key to your car taped on the windshield
[07:47] <Xgates> can anyone tell me for LUKS where I can find the latest information on Ubuntu's site/wiki for setting up LUKS?
[07:47] <zykotick9> anoc: using ntpd is better then ntpdate, it will actually train your clock.  But, the two shouldn't be mixed.
[07:47] <whumphrey_> wireless adapter help anyone?
[07:47] <zamiel> Ben64: or your key under a cactus next to the door, when you live in alaska...
[07:47] <adarshaj_> What is the version of kernel that would be shipped with Ubuntu 12.04LTS ?
[07:48] <zamiel> whumphrey_: PM me ill help...
[07:48] <zykotick9> whumphrey_: details (such as what wireless adapter) would be helpful
[07:48] <Ben64> adarshaj_: wont know for sure until April 5th
[07:49] <adarshaj_> Ben64: Any guesses?
[07:49] <zykotick9> !info linux precise | adarshaj_ Ben64
[07:49] <anoc> Ben64: i dont think it will train my clock because the vmware machine is f*ckd up. It's made with different cpu than it its so the clock is not working.
[07:50] <Ben64> anoc: you should fix that
[07:50] <adarshaj_> zykotick9: cool :), thanks!
[07:52] <whumphrey_> zykotick9 / zamiel It's a netgear wna3100
[07:52] <anoc> Ben64: perhaps i should. just dont' have the skills to make it 100% working. im happy if i just get the clock not to be wrong multiple days
[07:52] <bobo37773> Ben64: My opinion is that the most dangerous thing in gnu linux is the default kernel configuration for most distros. That kind of sudo information could probably be harmful to a certain subset of users though so I will try to not reccomend it if that thing is discouraged here.
[07:53] <overclucker> anoc: a line like this in yoour sudoers could work:  %groupname ALL=(ALL:ALL) NOPASSWD: /path/to/command /path/to/another/command
[07:53] <bobo37773> anoc: Wait all of this is just to set your time on boot?
[07:53] <Ben64> see its such an easy thing to use cron for
[07:54] <zykotick9> bobo37773: for a VM...
[07:54] <overclucker> anoc: then as part of the group sudo command shouldwork without password.
[07:54] <bobo37773> zykotick9: A virtual machine?
[07:55] <zykotick9> bobo37773: yup
[07:55] <anoc> bobo: no, i dont boot my virtual machine almost ever. just put it sleep state / and then resume it at the next day (used for php/mysql work)
[07:55] <bobo37773> zykotick9: Ben64 Why not just use a networkmanager hook? Ubuntu still uses networkmanager right?
[07:55] <perfekt> noob question, what's the command for the chkdsk equivalent in ubuntu (working from livedisc 9.04)?
[07:55] <Ben64> perfekt: fsck
[07:55] <perfekt> thanks
[07:57] <zamiel> bobo37773: or wicd and uninstall all the avahi crap...
[07:57] <bobo37773> anoc: Oh man I totally missed the whole thing. Yeah listen to Ben64. You want cron all the way. Especially since you are freezing the state of the machine.
[07:58] <theixle> So, any networking help here? I posted question already but will repost if needed.
[07:58] <theixle> If this is the wrong channel please advise.
[07:59] <bobo37773> zamiel: networkmanager does not depend on avahi or vica versa.
[07:59] <zamiel> bobo37773: noted, but removing the autoprobe features of network manager and the "im over here" stuff from avahi is helpful if you want to lower your surface...
[08:00] <zamiel> bobo37773: specially if your running a server..
[08:00] <shaji> configuring dhcp for different subnets howto
[08:01] <bobo37773> zamiel: Yeah if I was running a server I doubt I would run anything other than a simple daemon. No wicd or networkmanager. I have had problems with wicd and networkmanager both in the past. I cannot even really reccomend one over the other anymore these days
[08:03] <shaji> configuring dhcp for different subnets howto
[08:03] <theixle> Am I doing something wrong to try and get help or is everyone just occupied?
[08:04] <bobo37773> theixle: What is your issue?
[08:04] <shaji> hello abhinav  configuring dhcp for different subnets howto
[08:04] <theixle> I am, all of a sudden, not able to establish a good connection with telnet to a host I've been able to connect to fine for months. It says connected but "freezes" afterwards. Can anyone help me troubleshoot?
[08:04] <Jak2000> happy valentine day!
[08:05] <urfr332g0> theixle, sometimes it takes a person who knows what you need to respond, kind of a slow time for the channel. :)
[08:05] <theixle> I didn't want to repost my question and be spammy.
[08:05] <bobo37773> theixle: Is the whole setup local? Or is the host remote?
[08:05] <theixle> The host is remote
[08:05] <theixle> It's a MUD
[08:05] <theixle> text based rpg etc
[08:06] <bobo37773> theixle: Well since you said it has been working for months the only two things I can think of is something changed on your end or on the other. Are you telneting to a hostname or to and ip address?
[08:06] <theixle> I have tried both bobo
[08:07] <antii> hey
[08:07] <bobo37773> theixle: Did you update anything related on your end?
[08:07] <Ranthor_Harwath> hello, I need an update in the distro. the evolution client has bugs
[08:07] <Ranthor_Harwath> whom should I report
[08:07] <theixle> I agree something has changed on my end, but as I use the machine almost exclusively just for telneting to this remote host, it's hard for me to imagine what I could've done.
[08:07] <theixle> I haven't changed anything other than allowing the package manager to install updates.
[08:08] <Walther> Uvuntu 11.10 alternate cd, doesn't detect my wireless card
[08:08] <antii> Im getting system messages that my disk "/" is full.. I ran the disk analyzer and it didnt show anything.. Happend to anyone before?
[08:08] <bobo37773> theixle: Look at your updates
[08:08] <anoc> overclucker: tried the sudoers but still asks password
[08:09] <sudoduck> antii: what's df say?
[08:09] <antii> /dev/sda1             141G  134G   50M 100% /
[08:09] <theixle> bobo37773: In package manager? Is there a history of the most recent updates?
[08:09] <zykotick9> whumphrey_: is that a USB or PCI card?
[08:10] <whumphrey_> wna3100 wireless adapter help anyone?
[08:10] <whumphrey_> usb
[08:10] <bobo37773> theixle: Do you have / do you use synaptic?
[08:10] <theixle> bobo37773: Ok I haven't done anything to the machine over the past few hours, but now the telnet connection seems to be working properly.
[08:10] <theixle> bobo37773: While I could just call it good, I'm worried about this problem reocurring and would like to see you could help me understand the cause.
[08:10] <Walther> Ubuntu alternative install cd does not detect my wireless card -> no networking -> does not install any wireless stuff
[08:11] <antii> sudoduck: I am using the most like.. 14GB at all
[08:11] <antii> in my /home folder
[08:11] <whumphrey_> zykotick9: usb
[08:11] <bobo37773> theixle: weird. Well you must have done something. Hmm look at dmesg. Anything interesting there
[08:11] <Walther> How can I configure tye wireless during the install on Alt CD?
[08:11] <kroonrs> hi. sometimes when I suspend and resume, my terminal program does not resume.
[08:11] <Ben64> antii: well something you have is taking a lot of space
[08:12] <theixle> bobo37773: unfortunately I don't know what I'm looking for :/
[08:12] <shaji> configuring dhcp for different subnets howto
[08:12] <antii> Ben64: it says my home folder is full.. but if i look in there i dont see any big files
[08:13] <zykotick9> whumphrey_: from my very quick search, looks like you might have to use the windows driver with ndiswrapper (again it was a QUICK search, it may not be accurate).  But I can't/won't personally help with windows stuff.  Good luck.
[08:13] <Ben64> antii: its not just your home folder, its the entire / partition
[08:13] <antii> Ben64: any way I can find the "file/s"?
[08:13] <anoc> i made sudoers line myname ALL = (ALL:ALL) NOPASSWD: /etc/default/ntpdate        and still asks for password
[08:13] <bobo37773> theixle: Does you connection go in and out? Is it a console based machine?
[08:13] <anoc> used the command sudo visudo
[08:14] <Ben64> antii: "cd /; du -h --max-depth 1"
[08:14] <kroonrs> antii: you can go to / on the command line, then try du -sb * |sort -n to find which directory/files are taking up more space (will need to be root, or use sudo)
[08:14] <theixle> bobo37773: It's running x (xfce), the connection is wired directly to the router and is stable
[08:14] <theixle> bobo37773: I've been ssh'd from win7 on the lan consistently all day
[08:15] <antii> kroonrs: it seems like proc is taking up all space :S
[08:15] <theixle> But, I meant the dsl link is stable
[08:15] <kroonrs> antii: go into the proc folder and repeat
[08:15] <shaji> configuring dhcp for different subnets howto can you help
[08:15] <Walther> How do I configure wireless during alternate installation?
[08:15] <antii> kroonrs: 140737486266368	kcore
[08:15] <antii> :S
[08:16] <bobo37773> theixle: Just a guess: Maybe you have a backround process running since you last updated that is causing your connection on telnet to be less stable then it used to be. As far dmesg goes just look at it for a while and it will eventually start to make sense. I know that sounds crazy but you will eventually get it
[08:16] <Ben64> antii: that doesn't count
[08:16] <dr_willis>  /proc is special
[08:17] <bobo37773> Later everybody. Take care.
[08:17] <kroonrs> antii: Not sure what that's supposed to be, so I can't advise you to delete it...
[08:17] <sweb> how can i checkdisk my root partition ?
[08:18] <Ben64> antii: pastebin the output of "sudo du -h --max-depth 1 /"
[08:18] <kroonrs> antii: you can backtrack, and look for something else big taking up a lot of space?
[08:18] <sweb> some of my folders is lostttttt
[08:18] <dr_willis> sweb: id use a live cd.
[08:18] <antii> Ben64: in what folder?
[08:18] <syn-ack> kroonrs, looks like a kernel dump.
[08:18] <antii> Ben64: /?
[08:18] <Ben64> antii: if you type it how i have it there, any
[08:18] <whumphrey> zykotick9 you still there, i lost connection
[08:19] <antii> Ben64: http://pastebin.com/uR9YuKPg

[08:19] <zykotick9> whumphrey_: from my very quick search, looks like you might have to use the windows driver with ndiswrapper (again it was a QUICK search, it may not be accurate).  But I can't/won't personally help with windows stuff.  Good luck.
[08:19] <Ben64> antii: well that shows /home taking the majority of the space
[08:19] <whumphrey> ok thanks
[08:20] <whumphrey> I tried ndiswrapper but cannot get the driver to link to the adapter

[08:29] <Gskellig> when i create a user, how come I cant login via ssh with the password i made
[08:30] <Demonstrate> Gskellig: have yyou setup ssh on that user?
[08:30] <zykotick9> Gskellig: how did you create the user?
[08:30] <sudoduck> so, wget is only returning the first part of a site, even when i tell it to --ignore-length. thoughts?
[08:30] <zykotick9> Demonstrate: what do you mean?
[08:31] <Demonstrate> permissions..
[08:31] <Gskellig> useradd -m -p password user1
[08:31] <Gskellig> ?
[08:31] <zykotick9> Gskellig: i can't help.  In future you might want to try "adduser" instead
[08:31] <Gskellig> and I added it to sudoers
[08:31] <overclucker> Gskellig: first of all, that's not a very seccure way to set the password
[08:32] <Gskellig> I was going to change it as soon as I logged in
[08:32] <overclucker> Gskellig: do you have the openssh-server package installed?
[08:32] <zykotick9> Gskellig: using adduser will setup users properly
[08:32] <Gskellig> adduser != useradd ??
[08:32] <Gskellig> thanks
[08:32] <kroonrs> Question: How can I un-minimize an app that minimizes to system tray in unity?  (I can't seem to find the system tray anywhere...)
[08:32] <Demonstrate> kroons alt-tab works..
[08:33] <kroonrs> Demonstrate: no, it doesn't
[08:33] <ActionParsnip> yeah was thinking alt+tab
[08:33] <kroonrs> Demonstrate: that's why i'm asking
[08:33] <Gskellig> sigh wow i did not know adduser even existed
[08:33] <Demonstrate> really now..
[08:33] <ActionParsnip> !adduser | Gskellig
[08:33] <overclucker> Gskellig: useradd and adduser should both work. adduser with prompt you for the password without echoing it to to terminal
[08:34] <Gskellig> still says permission denied when trying to ssh
[08:34] <overclucker> Gskellig: to you have openssh-server installed?
[08:35] <Gskellig> yeah

[08:41] <Lint> ActionParsnip, wrong, I can see in monitor properties. text mode is 720*400, but grub menu appears at 640*480
[08:42] <Gskellig> i think so
[08:42] <Halexander9000> Hello?
[08:42] <Gskellig> how do i check?
[08:42] <zykotick9> Gskellig: "permission denied" that's not a password issue.  Do you have userallow in /etc/ssh/sshd_config?
[08:42] <ActionParsnip> Lint: its still text only, there is nothing graphical in Grub2
[08:42] <ActionParsnip> Lint: so not wrong at all

[08:43] <Demonstrate> ActionParsnip: Do you think you can elaborate on replacing grub with Lilo?
[08:43] <Lint> ActionParsnip, then why its menu is in graphic mode?

[08:47] <kroonrs> Demonstrate: thanks re tint2, but it doesn't seem to be showing up there, either.
[08:47] <Demonstrate> really???
[08:47] <Lint> ActionParsnip, it doesn't need anything. it should be in plain text mode, but grub2 switches it in graphic one
[08:48] <Demonstrate> kroonrs: what did you minimize that isn't showing?
[08:48] <kroonrs> Demonstrate: when I run the program off the command line, I get "QGtkStyle was unable to detect the current GTK+ theme."

[08:49] <maestro> My ubuntu 11.10 is not detecting my bluetooth adapter(not usb adapter, its on board). Please help me..!
[08:49] <Lint> ActionParsnip, why are you trying to derail my question?
[08:49] <ActionParsnip> maestro: if you run:  dmesg | grep -i blue   does it show in the boot messages?
[08:50] <maestro> ActionParnsip, lemme check
[08:50] <ActionParsnip> Lint: you are having an issue with video display, right?
[08:50] <Demonstrate> kroonrs: did that error occur over tint2?
[08:50] <kroonrs> Demonstrate: nope - I can make it appear in the top right with gsettings, but then I can't restore it from minimize - the icon just sits in the launcher

[08:51] <Demonstrate> wait so how did you get "QGtkStyle was unable to detect the current GTK+ theme"??
[08:51] <Lint> ActionParsnip, no, I'm having an issue with grub2 which insist on working in graphic mode, and with kernel configuration which also boots in graphic mode

[08:55] <Demonstrate> Yay!!! there seems to be a problem with the default linux kernel on 11.04, before the update something was eating all of my 8 core's resources all over 80% workload on idle. just a heads up..
[08:55] <ActionParsnip> maestro: seems to be detected then :0
[08:55] <kroonrs> Demonstrate: that might work - I just asked the initial question because of the weird systray items not in alt-tab behaviour.  If that's not common, I'll probably switch to a different application for the internet accounting.  It also minimizes to sys-tray, so I can see if that is the fault or not.  Thanks for the help.
[08:56] <Demonstrate> kroonrs:  sorry  I couldn't help you solve that mysterious unminimization..

[09:17] <whumphrey> from what I've read it is but I've read both that the 43xx firmware works and that it does not
[09:17] <ActionParsnip> maestro: the cpu ismoot
[09:17] <Demonstrate> ActionParsnip: it is a broadcom with no native.
[09:17] <maestro> ActionParsnip, ?
[09:17] <ActionParsnip> maestro: in windows, disable power management on the bluetooth and disable its ability to wake the system up
[09:17] <ActionParsnip> maestro: moot == irrelevant in this context
[09:17] <ActionParsnip> Demonstrate: gah
[09:18] <Demonstrate> whumphrey: from what I've read v1/v2 are diffrent chipset's but apperantly if you've got the version with (bcmwlhigh6 ) you can get it working.
[09:19] <maestro> ActionParsnip, Actually i knew about this sad ass feature of my laptop that if i have my wifi+bluetooth off in windows the i wont be able to run it on Ubuntu. So i made sure that the bluetooth and wifi were running on windows7 before i rebooted to ubuntu
[09:20] <maestro> ActionParsnip, The wifi is working properly but as i told you bluetooth is not
[09:20] <Demonstrate> whumphrey:  That's about All I can find on it Wish you luck dude I'm going to crash out (I pm'd you)
[09:20] <c31r2g> maestro in my case bluetooth works but wifi not
[09:21] <ActionParsnip> maestro: check the power management stuff, it can affect the Ubuntu OS.
[09:21] <ActionParsnip> suprised anyone uses bluetooth, its so slow
[09:21] <c31r2g> maestro plugin the bluetooth and restart and see it  worked for me
[09:21] <rokyronnie> can somebody help me to configure my audio card ? my mike doesn't work
[09:21] <maestro> c31r2g, this silly stuff really amazes me. I never understand why the hell manufacturers does these stuff
[09:22] <whumphrey> I think I got it, I used the GUI, uninstalled the bcmwlhigh5.inf and used the bcmn43xx32.inf and I think it's going to work. Says the hardware is present now
[09:22] <maestro> ActionParsnip, I will do that on my next reboot. Lets see if it helps. Or i will have to disturb the channel again....:)
[09:22] <c31r2g> ActionParsnip i cant use my wifi on live usb so i had to connect to bluetooth and it worked for me

[09:47] <monk> im just irritated that an ubuntu update borked the laptop
[09:47] <phix> c31r2g: It's 128 bits, you redy for it?
[09:47] <eona3> If I do the default boot it doesn't do anything but if I boot to the second HDD it goes to tty1 etc. Why would it install the boot loader thing to the second HDD? The problem is that is a TruCrypt drive that has really important data on it. How should I proceed?
[09:47] <phix> Halexander9000: ok I will tak ea look
[09:47] <Halexander9000> phix: The online installer for the Linux/x11.
[09:47] <kollapse> monk: What happened ?
[09:48] <cloudgeek> monk: or agree ,be calm many things happen with us !
[09:48] <c31r2g> 128 bit?i heard 32,64 but this??phix

[09:49] <eona3> help?
[09:49] <dr_willis> not a problem any more then..
[09:49] <c3sso> is it just me or is theming a bit broken in precise pangolin?
[09:49] <monk> cloudgeek: not to worry, i sorted it by repairing
[09:49] <Halexander9000> c31r2g: It does exist. But at a different place, time and/or universe all together.
[09:49] <dr_willis> c3sso:  ask in #ubuntu+1
[09:49] <Ben64> c3sso: not just you, and precise channel is #ubuntu+1
[09:50] <c31r2g> ok
[09:50] <cloudgeek> monk: but what about your data is that is able to recover | okay is every thing is okay
[09:50] <c3sso> right thanks
[09:50] <kbotnen_> hi. Im trying to get unattended-upgrades to work and have a question about the config file. The tutorials (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticSecurityUpdates) say the config file is named  10periodic, but the /etc/cron.daily/apt script says 02periodic. which is correct?
[09:50]  * Halexander9000 is listening to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2dGpXuGWERQ&feature=g-u-u&context=G2d3f4b5FUAAAAAAAAAA
[09:51] <monk> cloudgeek: preserved $home (on separate partition)
[09:52] <cloudgeek> monk:yeah sounds good ! i also often make backup yeah
[09:52] <eona3> why would it install the boot loader on the opposite HDD I told it to install on? That is a major flaw if you asked me... just saying
[09:52] <yashshah> How to access the notification area in Ubuntu 11.10?
[09:52] <eona3> it being a TrueCrypt drive and all
[09:52] <dr_willis> access what do you mean yashshah ?
[09:53] <phix> Halexander9000: what version of qt you have installed?
[09:53] <Halexander9000> phix: Is there a command I should use to check that?
[09:54] <Halexander9000> phix: I showed you the download page.
[09:54] <eona3> phix: any ideas? thx
[09:54] <yashshah> we have notification area in 11.10 right? So, I want to write a script to notify about the events.
[09:55] <phix> Halexander9000: yeah dpkg -l | grep -i qt   will show you
[09:55] <phix> yashshah: You can use the notify command line application to stick stuff up there
[09:55] <phix> eona3: What was the question?
[09:55] <kbotnen_> yashshah, notify-send
[09:55] <eona3> phix: How should I proceed?
[09:56] <Halexander9000> phix: http://pastebin.com/NTvjV9Dd
[09:56] <yashshah> Yeah i would like to make the same thing as notify-send
[09:56] <phix> eona3: with what?
[09:56] <eona3> phix: it installed the boot loader to the second Truecrypt drive and it wont boot on the primary drive I told it to install on. How should I recover? thx
[09:57] <phix> eona3: why are you trying to use trucrypt for ubuntu?  use LUKS (which comes with ubuntu)
[09:57] <yashshah> kbotnen, Do you have any idea how notify-send access the notification area and notifies it?
[09:57] <kbotnen_> why cant you use the notify-send itself?
[09:57] <eona3> phix: ok, how should I get it to boot though
[09:57] <eona3> ?
[09:57] <kbotnen_> else yo uhave to go through the dbus.
[09:57] <phix> eona3: it just boots
[09:58] <phix> install it on the MBR
[09:58] <phix> the grub boot loader that is
[09:58] <eona3> phix: whats the easisest way to do that?
[09:58] <phix> eona3: There are docs on the ubuntu site that explains how to do this, I recommend you read them
[09:58] <eona3> phix: thanks...
[09:58] <phix> eona3: The easiest way is to spend 5 - 10 minutes reading the docs
[09:58] <yashshah> kbotnen_: What s dbus?
[09:59] <eona3> phix: any chance I can recover the second HDD that has Truecrypt that it installed on?
[09:59] <eona3> the boot loader
[09:59] <phix> eona3: you basically boot from CD, go through the setup, then in the disc manager you choose a partition to set as encryption drive, you need to use the alternate or server ubuntu CD, you cant do this with the esktop CD
[09:59] <phix> desktop even
[09:59] <phix> eona3: no idea
[10:00] <phix> I havnt used trucrypt to encrypt an entire drive before
[10:00] <woq> hi, anybody knows some autoit alternative for linux (especially qt-based)? was searching on g, but cant find anything interesting
[10:00] <eona3> phix: not trying to be rude but why on earth does it install the bootloader on the opposite HDD it is told to install on?
[10:00] <phix> woq: what is autoit?
[10:00] <eona3> isn't that a problem for some people?
[10:01] <c3sso> rather quiet in #ubuntu+1
[10:01] <phix> eona3: It installs on the disc you tell it to install on
[10:01] <___MAX> Hi, any know where to find the package location after making update to the Os
[10:01] <ActionParsnip> woq: sounds like bash to me
[10:01] <eona3> I told it to install on HDD0 and it did but installed the bootloader on HDD1
[10:01] <woq> phix: BASIC-like scripting language designed for automating the Windows GUI and general scripting
[10:01] <c3sso> wrong time (zone?)
[10:01] <ActionParsnip> ___MAX: the deb will be in /var/cache/apt/archives
[10:01] <woq> yeah, like bash, but i need it for X :>
[10:01] <phix> woq: sound horrible, I use Java or python for that :)
[10:02] <Lint> eona3, kernel 3 enumerates disks in other order than 2, isn't that it?
[10:02] <woq> phix: sounds like advanced programming for me...
[10:02] <ActionParsnip> c3sso: the internet is 24/7
[10:02] <woq> :)
[10:02] <c3sso> well then
[10:02] <phix> woq: BASIC like is always a bad idea
[10:02] <___MAX> actionParsnip: can i used for local update if the system crash
[10:03] <Halexander9000> Hey, does anyone play Minecraft?
[10:03] <woq> phix: yeah, but i need something simple, im not programmer, i just thought that autoit for linux would be awesome
[10:03] <phix> woq: If I want to be verbose then I use BASIC end if
[10:03] <ActionParsnip> ___MAX: sure, aptoncd will give you a pretty GUI but essenially you can copy those files and use them later if you want
[10:03] <eona3> Lint: why though? The GUI installer asked me where to install it so I said HDD0 and it did install it there but installed the Ubuntu bootloader, not Grub, to HDD1. Why?
[10:03] <c3sso> at least I know now that I am not alone with my theming problems in precise...
[10:03] <ActionParsnip> ___MAX: you can even tell apt-get to download every deb for your installed packages and you can back them up :)
[10:04] <___MAX> ActionParsnip: Thanks :)
[10:04] <eona3> Lint: the problem is that HDD1 is (was) a Trucrypt drive, ugh...
[10:04] <Lint> eona3, bootloader is always on active disk
[10:04] <Lint> actual grub code is in /boot or / partition
[10:05] <eona3> Lint: then why isn't the disc you tell it to install on made active?
[10:05] <c3sso> btw : does someboy know which program now displays the battery icon? is it gnome-session?
[10:05] <c31r2g> no
[10:05] <eona3> just saying...
[10:05] <phix> eona3: /dev/sda?
[10:05] <c3sso> because on openbox, I want to get rid of it ...
[10:06] <eona3> phix: sorry I'm not sure what you're asking
[10:06] <ivano_> #ubuntu-it
[10:06] <ActionParsnip> c3sso: the default OS shows battery level..
[10:06] <eona3> phix: I went through the GUI install of Ubuntu 11.10 and told it to install on HDD0, and it did, but installed the Ubuntu bootloader, not Grub, on HDD1...
[10:06] <eona3> and you know the rest.
[10:07] <mrguser> hi
[10:07] <mrguser> Any1 can help me?
[10:07] <eona3> HDD0 is where it was installed originally and should have been the active disc
[10:07] <eona3> and is the primary boot device as well
[10:08] <mrguser> how i can hack my e63???
[10:08] <stylus_ninja> mrguser: !ask
[10:09] <dr_willis> and a e63 is a ?
[10:09] <ActionParsnip> mrguser: to do what?
[10:09] <eona3> phix: I mean I'm trying to implement Ubuntu in a busniess medium network envirnoment. Will I need to physically take all of the HDDs out of the PC except for one?
[10:09] <ActionParsnip> dr_willis: seems to be a nokia phone
[10:09] <eona3> during install?
[10:09] <mrguser> Ya.. I want to install unsigd apps
[10:09] <Halexander9000> phix: ?
[10:10] <eona3> phix: How do I prevent this from happening in the future?
[10:10] <llutz> mrguser: and how is that an ubuntu-question?
[10:10] <dr_willis> mrguser:  check the android channel and forums perhaps?
[10:10] <stylus_ninja> mrguser, why and which programs?
[10:10] <eona3> I'm a huge Ubuntu fan but this is making implementation difficult
[10:11] <ActionParsnip> mgolisch: how is that ubuntu related?
[10:11] <c3sso> ActionParsnip: shure. I know that, the tray applet is ther in fallback mode tray and in openbox tray. I just wanted to know which program is providing it. I want to have theming on openbox, so I have to run gnoem-settings-daemon (thats the one I meant beforem too),  but I do not need the battery icon there, as openbox (tint2 has its own and the battery applet is messing with the space on the panel)
[10:11] <eona3> I mean I just lost over 400GBs of encrypted data...
[10:11] <eona3> because it wanted to install the bootloader on HDD1
[10:11] <eona3> instead of HDD0
[10:12] <ActionParsnip> c3sso: i believe its a xfce4-power-manager
[10:12] <ActionParsnip> c3sso: thats what I have on my lubuntu install
[10:12] <eona3> is this a normal part of any install?
[10:12] <eona3> if it is that is a major problem for network wide implementation
[10:13] <c3sso> ActionParsnip: no, not installed
[10:13] <Lint> eona3, I would check launchpad.net for similar reports
[10:13] <phix> bbl
[10:13] <freeway_> please pal how do i use skype on ubuntu 11.10
[10:13] <Halexander9000> phix: Erm... alright.
[10:13] <eona3> Lint: do you know of any way to recover that data at this point? thx for your help
[10:14] <Lint> eona3, was the entire physical disc the truecrypt volume?
[10:14] <c3sso> ActionParsnip: its the same (unclickable) icon as in gnome fallback. seems to be gnome power manager which provides it, but I am not shure
[10:14] <eona3> Lint: yes
[10:15] <Lint> eona3, i don't know much about true crypt sadly
[10:15] <fabianvampiro> hi I am newuser for here

[10:29] <Simon1245> Hey guys, I'm trying to install a game using Wine but it's asking me to store it somewhere, where should I install it to? I got it installed on Windows already on c:/program files/..
[10:30] <jiltdil> i am trying to ping my friend but from my system it is not pinging any reason?
[10:30] <crizzy> Simon1245: ~/.wine or ~/.c_drive or somesuch folder
[10:30] <dr_willis> Simon1245:  let it install to the normal ~/.wine/win_c dir
[10:30] <Simon1245> dr_willis, crizzy thanks guys, I'll try to find it :)
[10:31] <linuxlover> muelli I am asking there but they all might be sleeping [maybe partying without me] hehehehe :(
[10:31] <dfcnvt> Good morning
[10:31] <muelli> linuxlover: sorry dude. This is not the right place for you.
[10:31] <cloudgeek> !free
[10:32] <ActionParsnip> Simon1245: just pick the defaults in the game ionstaller, it will be fine
[10:32] <linuxlover> its the right place muelli
[10:32] <cloudgeek> ActionParsnip: how use free command in human-readable form
[10:32] <dr_willis> with conky - try out the 1000s of configs out there and learn from them is what i always do. conky forums also help
[10:32] <Simon1245> ActionParsnip, It wants to save on C: But I got it installed on C: directory already I don't wanna overwrite it.
[10:32] <dr_willis> free -h  ?
[10:32] <dr_willis> Simon1245:  wine uses a virtual windows drive in the .wine dir...
[10:32] <Simon1245> I'm using dualboot or whatever you call it, got both Windows nad Linux installed into the computer.
[10:33] <cloudgeek> dr_willis: nope that is not working with -h
[10:33] <dr_willis> Simon1245:  unless you changed it..
[10:33] <dr_willis> Simon1245:  wine does not use your windows installed stuff normally.
[10:33] <foenix> dr_willis: have a pleasant day and wish me luck
[10:33] <ActionParsnip> Simon1245: its the 'C:' of wine, not your windows partition#
[10:33] <freeway_> please pals i need ur help in skype
[10:33] <dr_willis> Simon1245:  you Might be able to run the windows app from the actual windows partion.  if you want to try it.
[10:33] <ActionParsnip> Simon1245: it will be installed in ~/.wine/drive_c
[10:34] <freeway_> my skype refuse to load in unbuntu 11.10

[10:34] <Simon1245> ActionParsnip, dr_willis it says: C:\Program Files\Rockstar Games, you guys sure as I got a lot of mods installed on Windows don't want it replaced :D
[10:34] <Halexander9000> Can anyone here help me with a Minecraft Problem?
[10:35] <dr_willis> Simon1245:  try running it from that location.  it might work..
[10:35] <ActionParsnip> Simon1245: its goes in to Wine, not windows.
[10:35] <dr_willis> Simon1245:  or install it to your normal .wine/ dir  by default it goes there. and you will have to reinstall all the other stuff as well..
[10:35] <Simon1245> dr_willis, I'll try installing it like you guys said and lets see what happens, ActionParsnip alrihgt let me try
[10:36] <freeway_> HY SHASHA
[10:36] <dr_willis> Simon1245:   or let it install to .wine/ then copy your other full installed game dir to the .wine/whatever :) to clone the install.
[10:36] <fabianvampiro> BackBox is a Linux distribution based on Ubuntu.   http://www.backbox.org/
[10:36] <Lint> Simon1245, does the game run from its windows location without installing?
[10:36] <ActionParsnip> Simon1245: you should also have your 'mods' backed up
[10:36] <Simon1245> dr_willis, Oh that would be possible?
[10:37] <Simon1245> Lint, I haven't tried playing it on Linux yet, I thought it wouldn't be possible so I was trying to install it
[10:37] <dr_willis> !appdb
[10:37] <dr_willis> Simon1245:  when in doubt check the wine app database

[10:38] <mahsom> What is this display manager : http://linuxsysconfig.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/desktop2.png
[10:38] <Simon1245> dr_willis, I was there but didn't read much in there to be honet
[10:38] <ActionParsnip> fabianvampiro: yes 'BASED' on Ubuntu
[10:39] <ActionParsnip> fabianvampiro: it's not ubuntu, ubuntu is based on Debian but if you ask for Ubuntu support in #debian you will be told to ask here
[10:39] <fabianvampiro> ok
[10:39] <fabianvampiro> thanks
[10:39] <crizzy> first of all debian compiles all of their packages with completely different compile flags.. which alone is a big difference
[10:39] <ActionParsnip> fabianvampiro: NONE of the ubuntu spinoffs you can name are supported here, like backtrack, minuxmcs, mint, pinguyos and many more
[10:39] <Simon1245> Oh and is there any way to make linux "my docoumets" update with the changes I do at Windows and same way that Linux changes on my documents happens at Windows?'
[10:39] <Simon1245> opps, accidently got closed.
[10:39] <michelem> what are release policies for packages in LTS? I need twistedmatrix 10.1+, which is not available in the main source nor backports. Any hope to get it in the near future or shall I just install from sources?
[10:40] <dr_willis> Simon1245:  you could mount your windows partiion, and link the folders via ln -s, or the ubuntu /file manager settings
[10:40] <Omar> hi
[10:40] <sun__> hi
[10:40] <Omar> How are you ? !
[10:40] <Omar> How is your day ?
[10:40] <sun__> fine
[10:40] <ActionParsnip> Simon1245: if you have your NTFS partition mount via fstab, you can symlink from your my docs in the NTFS to a folder in your home folder for easy access
[10:40] <sun__> you learn engliw?
[10:40] <Omar> Cool , Glad to hear that
[10:41] <Simon1245> dr_willis, ActionParsnip Any tutorial or something on how to do it? It sounds complicated lol
[10:41] <sun__> есть русские?
[10:41] <sun__> who russian?
[10:41] <dr_willis>    ln -s foo bar   Simon1245  once you know the locations
[10:41] <Omar> Guys do know any good commands that scans for ip or in another word , list the IPs in my network
[10:42] <dr_willis> Omar:  nmap can scan networks
[10:42] <Omar> how ?
[10:42] <dr_willis> theres other tools also.
[10:42] <DJones> !ru | sun__
[10:42] <dr_willis> nmap --help   -> depends on how you want to scan
[10:42] <Omar> scanning for ips
[10:42] <Omar> thats all wat i want
[10:42] <starlon> how can I record what's going through my speakers? I've tried Audacity, but I'm not having much luck.
[10:42] <ActionParsnip> Omar: there are sample nmap codes all over the web
[10:43] <dr_willis> nmap can do a ping scan.
[10:43] <dr_willis> thats quick and simple\

[10:48] <chromaticwt> what is the best way to do automatic updates?
[10:48] <neant> when using the 32 bit version of Ubuntu, is there a method that could reclaim the unused RAM of my 4 G?
[10:48] <dr_willis> Omar:  no need to msg me. nmap can ping the whole range of ips on your network and report which pcs respond.
[10:49] <MonkeyDust> mahsom  looks like fluxbox or so
[10:49] <mahsom> or so ?!
[10:49] <JacksterD> lol
[10:51] <Lint> neant, PAE
[10:58] <rokyronnie1> I found a program that can show what song is played, it's called Panflute, but when I'm trying to install it, it says I need "python-gnomeapplet" how can I install that in Ubuntu 11.10 ?
[10:58] <dr_willis> check the pacakge manager tools to see if its in the repos
[10:59] <randomnewb> What file do I edit to set up my aliases for the terminal?
[11:00] <overclucker> .bashrc if you use bash
[11:00] <dr_willis> randomnewb:  check the .bashrc or .profile  theres mention of a .bash_alias file you can also use.
[11:00] <yashshah> randomnewb: there is .bashrc
[11:00] <dr_willis> one file has some example alias's.   you can put a few in there. Or you can seperate them all out into their own file.
[11:01] <michelem> how to tell apt-cache and apt-get to operate on a specific repository?

[11:07] <Euan> help me please
[11:07] <ikonia> Euan: ask a question please.
[11:07] <Euan> whenever i try and launch ubunt it does to a terminal sort of thing
[11:08] <Euan> it wsa working fine a few seconds ago
[11:08] <Euan> hello?
[11:09] <ikonia> hi
[11:09] <Euan> so how can i fix the problem?
[11:09] <Simon1245> Hey guys, I gotta move the game crack into .wine directory, how can I do that through terminal?
[11:09] <ikonia> Euan: I don't know, what has changed between now and when it was working
[11:09] <ikonia> Simon1245: not helping you crack a game, please don't ask again
[11:10] <Euan> nothing, i did do a turn off without going the shut off way
[11:10] <Euan> like i did it with the button
[11:10] <ikonia> Euan: why did you do that
[11:10] <Simon1245> ikonia, Ah alright, not from someone else either or?
[11:10] <FatDude> Euan: Please state the nature of the technical emergency.
[11:10] <Euan> and it boots to a screen that says grub>
[11:10] <MonkeyDust> Simon1245  wrong channel
[11:10] <ikonia> Simon1245: please don't ask again in this channel
[11:10] <Simon1245> ikonia, alright sorry.
[11:10] <Euan> When I attempt to boot Ubuntu from my double boot, it goes into a grub terminal.
[11:10] <Simon1245> MonkeyDust, Sorry
[11:10] <ikonia> Euan: why did you power it off rather than shut it down
[11:11] <FatDude> What are we not allowed to discuss in here?
[11:11] <ikonia> Simon1245: not a problem.
[11:11] <ikonia> FatDude: ubuntu technical support
[11:11] <ikonia> FatDude: check the /topic
[11:11] <Euan> I wasn't paying attention, and accidentally turned it off.
[11:11] <Simon1245> By the way, sometimes my left mouse button stops to work, is that only me or? It works perfectly fine on Windows both the touchpad button and mouse :S
[11:11] <ikonia> Euan: you accidentally pushed and held the power button ?
[11:11] <Euan> I was tired.
[11:12] <Euan> I wasn't paying attention.
[11:12] <ikonia> Euan: you've probably corrupted your install or damaged your disk then
[11:12] <Euan> How can I fix that?
[11:12] <ikonia> Euan: if it's dropping to the grub shell it means it can't see the disk, which is possibly because you've damaged the disk powering it off
[11:12] <Euan> the windows 7 is working fine
[11:12] <viddy> more likely the filesystem, no? :i
[11:12] <Euan> both on the same hard drive
[11:13] <ikonia> Euan: then it falls to the file system being damaged
[11:13] <viddy> just do a fsck on that thing
[11:13] <MonkeyDust> yes
[11:13] <viddy> and the world will be a better place
[11:13] <ikonia> Euan: if the file system was just messy, I'd still expect it to start to boot, but warn you that the file system needed fscking
[11:13] <ikonia> the fact that it's refusing to even show the grub menu
[11:13] <MonkeyDust> Euan  try to boot in recovery mode, choose fsck and repair
[11:13] <Euan> how do I do that
[11:14] <MonkeyDust> Euan  in the grub menu
[11:14] <Euan> what should i type in
[11:14] <Euan> it's a terminal sort of thing
[11:14] <ikonia> he doesn't get the grub menu - it just drops to the grub shell
[11:14] <MonkeyDust> Euan  ctrl-alt-dlete
[11:14] <MonkeyDust> ah
[11:14] <MonkeyDust> not even a menu, that's tough
[11:14] <ikonia> thats why I don't think it's a simple fsck case
[11:15] <dr_willis> what's the shells prompt Euan.  it could be grub.  or busybox
[11:15] <ActionParsnip> Euan: of you cn fsck from liveCD
[11:16] <spitzi> Hello. I have 2 harddisks, one with XP + old Ubuntu, one with Ubuntu 11.10 + Win 7. The second used to also have Vista, but yesterday I deleted the Vista partition and resized the Win 7 partition over the redeemed space, all through gparted in Ubuntu 11. Then, I invoked update-grub2, and it didn't recognize a bootable Win7 anymore. How can I fix this ? Thanks.
[11:17] <MonkeyDust> sounds like a destroyed win7 partition to me
[11:18] <Euan> liveCD?
[11:18] <Euan> its grub
[11:18] <Euan> grub>
[11:18] <Euan> thats what it says on the side
[11:18] <dr_willis> so you may want to fsck.  then reinstall grub from a livecd
[11:18] <infinee> Hi, can someone help me compile or install wxwidgets on 11.10? I dl'd the src and during 'configure' it complains that it can't find GTK+ >- 2.0.0 but I have GTK3 installed
[11:19] <ActionParsnip> Euan: yes but it can be done from the same CD you installed with...
[11:19] <MonkeyDust> !info wxwidgets
[11:21] <infinee> !info wxwidgets
[11:22] <MonkeyDust> it's for developpers
[11:22] <infinee> i know it is, I need it to build 'erlang'
[11:25] <Lint> I cannot see language selection option in new ubuntu login screen
[11:28] <djota> error while adding x2go repo: ?: keyserver.ubuntu.com: Connection refused. my inet connection is working. any ideas on how to fix that?
[11:29] <infinee> MonkeyDust, i can see this pkg here https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/oneiric/+source/wxwidgets2.8/2.8.11.0-0ubuntu10
[11:30] <infinee> but "sudo apt-get install wxwidgets2.8" can't locate it
[11:30] <MonkeyDust> apt-get only works if it's in the repos
[11:31] <infinee> MonkeyDust, that page says it's in "component universe" ...which I understood to be *official*
[11:31] <MonkeyDust> lemme chzck
[11:31] <MonkeyDust> e
[11:33] <MonkeyDust> infinee  try sudo apt-get install wx-common
[11:33] <infinee> MonkeyDust, ok that worked. let me try my erlang build again. thanks
[11:34] <FatDude> Netsplit -- please help.
[11:34] <infinee> MonkeyDust, mind showing me how you figured out it was wx-common? :)
[11:34] <ikonia> FatDude: what ?
[11:35] <FatDude> ikonia: I saw a lot of "Connection reset by peer" in my terminal.
[11:35] <MonkeyDust> infinee  in a terminal, i did apt-cache search wxwidgets
[11:35] <ikonia> FatDude: ok , so why are you typing "help" ? what do you expect anyone in this channel to do ?
[11:35] <infinee> MonkeyDust: hrm my erlang configure still can't find wxwidgets.
[11:36] <MonkeyDust> infinee  use my trick, you're more skilled than i am, so maybe you find something more useful
[11:36] <infinee> oh cool "apt-cache"! i've always needed that. I usually use "dpkg -l | grep porn" when I'm looking for stuff but I'm never confident if dpkg and apt-get are linked
[11:37] <FatDude> ikonia: Well, I suppose you have a point.
[11:38] <infinee> monkeydust: found it! libwxgtk2.8-dev
[11:38] <infinee> thanks buddy
[11:38] <MonkeyDust> infinee  apt-cache search erlang|less
[11:38] <MonkeyDust> ah
[11:38] <djota> anybody?
[11:39] <ubernoob> hi
[11:40] <RawProduce> how can I downgrade MySQL to 5.0.45? I can't seem to find a .deb on google
[11:40] <MonkeyDust> !downgrade
[11:41] <ubernoob> I have a multiboot system with W7, Ubuntu, F16 and Debian Squeeze. Ubuntu and F16 share a swap partition (even though I set up Ubuntu to have its own, it "took it over, during the install"). What I want to know is, would it be safe to remove F16 and the swap partition (I plan to install PCBSD)?
[11:43] <RawProduce> so there's no way to downgrade MySQL? Will I need to compile it from source
[11:43] <RawProduce> ?
[11:44] <alerinaldi> RawProduce: you should remove it and then install it from older DEBs
[11:44] <alerinaldi> but I just joined, so I don't know exactly what you need
[11:44] <alerinaldi> I could be wrong
[11:45] <overclucker> ubernoob: it;s safe to remove it. you might also want to remove the swap line on any /etc/fstab that tries to use it on boot
[11:45] <overclucker> ubernoob: but nothing will break if it's not there
[11:45] <djota> ubernoob: you may consider using virtualization, like virtualbox f.e.
[11:46] <ubernoob> thanks overclucker
[11:46] <RawProduce> alerinaldi: how can I specify that I want to install an old DEB?
[11:47] <ubernoob> djota, I've never used any virtualisation on Linux. I always assumed my system would be too low-spec for truly realising the benefits of having a virtual machine
[11:47] <RawProduce> ah, nvm
[11:47] <ubernoob> I only have 4GB of ram and this is an old Athlon x2
[11:47] <alerinaldi> RawProduce: you'll need to manually download it
[11:47] <djota> ubernoob: you don't need a lot of resources for virtualbox, it's performance is really great, and the software is free
[11:47] <FatDude> RawProduce: Please locate an older DEB version of the package in question and execute 'dpkg -i something.deb'
[11:48] <overclucker> ubernoob: only? that's more than enough to warrant not using swap
[11:48] <i_is_broke> ubernoob, ive ran vbox on an old p3
[11:48] <i_is_broke> with 1gig of ram
[11:48] <RawProduce> alerinaldi: the problem is, googling for that package doesn't yield any downloadable packages
[11:48] <ubernoob> djota, well I guess if I'm going to play around with Linux, I might try that approach first.
[11:48] <RawProduce> unless I'm looking in the wrong places
[11:48] <alerinaldi> RawProduce: try to search "Details of package mysql-server"
[11:48] <alerinaldi> you will find the information page of the package of older distros
[11:48] <djota> man, nobody can help with that launchpad issue?
[11:49] <overclucker> ubernoob: you can use a swap file instead, of a swap partition if you still want swap
[11:49] <RawProduce> alerinaldi: thanks, getting some hits on that
[11:49] <alerinaldi> RawProduce: np! remember to download the dependencies, too!
[11:49] <ubernoob> overclucker, I set up swap partitions out of habit, as the install pretty much asks me to arrange partitions I arrange all the ones I used to do when I first tried Linux.
[11:49] <ubernoob> overclucker, doesn't that affect performance?
[11:50] <ubernoob> I thought having a swap partition was better than the windows style swap files?
[11:50] <overclucker> ubernoob: dd if=/dev/zero of=/swapfile bs=1M count=1000; mkswap /swapfile would give you a1 gig swap file on /
[11:50] <ubernoob> ok, well I'm going to give VirtualBox a go first, then if I feel I still need to, I'll scrub F16 and Debian and install PCBSD properly.
[11:51] <Lint> I cannot see language selection option in new ubuntu login screen
[11:51] <overclucker> ubernoob: there shouldn't be any performance loss
[11:51] <Lint> ubernoob, it doesn't matter, all filesystem calculations are made faster than drive operates
[11:51] <parapan> hi there fellows > is there anyone able to support some sql/perl problems ??
[11:52] <ubernoob> overclucker, whilst we're talking about swap files/partitions, is there any situation in which having them actually makes your system slower?
[11:54] <overclucker> ubernoob: overly high vmswappiness can affect system performance
[11:55] <ubernoob> overclucker: so on a 4GB system, what would you say is the ideal size?
[11:57] <overclucker> ubernoob: 60 is  default, is probably a good number for that amount of ram
[11:57] <phix> back
[11:57] <phix> 60 what?
[11:57] <overclucker> vmswappiness
[11:58] <phix> ah, I usually assign 50 - 60Gb to swap, and make /tmp and /var/tmp tmpfs :)  10 or so Gb each
[11:58] <overclucker> it's probably only worth messing with if you have 1 gig or less
[11:58] <ubernoob> wow, that's rather high.
[11:58] <Canis__> Is there a way to stop a live cd/usb from downloading the language packs while installing...other than disconnetcing from the Internet?
[11:59] <phix> Canis__: Not that i Know of
[11:59] <Guest71832> Anybody running Jolicloud?
[11:59] <overclucker> phix: huh? swappiness or swap size?
[11:59] <RawProduce> Canis__: edit /etc/hosts and set whatever URL it's looking for to localhost
[11:59] <ActionParsnip> phix: 50Gb, how much RAM do you have?
[11:59] <Canis__> Hmmmm
[11:59] <Ben64> Guest71832: A high percentage of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? See also !details, !gq, and !poll.
[12:00] <overclucker> phix: if you have 60 gig swap, that's rather excessive
[12:00] <phix> ActionParsnip: 8Gb
[12:00] <ActionParsnip> Guest71832: jolicloud is offtopic here
[12:00] <XATRIX> hi guys...i've got some problem with my system... it's running but it has some malfunctions. actually when i do most of the commands, it gives me #/sbin/ifconfig - bash: /sbin/ifconfig: No such file or directory (but all of the files are there... just for example if i do #du -hs /sbin/ifconfig it gives me  32K /sbin/ifconfig
[12:00] <Canis__> I'll check that. Thanks
[12:00] <ActionParsnip> phix: then you'll only need 8Gb swap
[12:00] <XATRIX> what can i do in such situation
[12:00] <Guest71832> I know, Just wondering
[12:00] <phix> ActionParsnip: nah I 50 - 100Gb for swap as I mount /tmp and /var/tmp as tmpfs (which uses swap too)
[12:00] <RawProduce> lol what, so /tmp is in RAM while RAM isn't full, then you load some programs, max out your RAM and are forced to wait for /tmp to swap out?
[12:00] <Ben64> XATRIX: why are you running everything as root?
[12:01] <RawProduce> that makes so little sense
[12:01] <phix> RawProduce: yup
[12:01] <omido> Hi . How can i find if Ubuntu 10.04 is supported on my laptop and everything would work?
[12:01] <RawProduce> am I missing something?
[12:01] <jpds> omido: Use a Live CD?
[12:01] <chromaticwt> is freeciv multiplayer
[12:01] <overclucker> i've got 8 gigs of ram, and dont even use swap, i've usually got at least half of my ram free anyways
[12:01] <chromaticwt> ?
[12:01] <Ben64> omido: easiest way would be to use a live cd
[12:01] <phix> RawProduce: well it doesn't swap out all of it, only what it needs
[12:01] <RawProduce> phix: surely it's better to avoid swapping altogether?
[12:01] <phix> RawProduce: how so?  makes sense to me
[12:02] <Ben64> 50GB swap is hugely excessive
[12:02] <RawProduce> eh, different strokes I guess
[12:02] <phix> Ben64: not if your using it
[12:02] <XATRIX> Ben64: because i'm have no accounts there
[12:02] <Canis__> There is no hosts file in the 11.04 .iso That I have.
[12:02] <Ben64> if you're* using it, something is wrong
[12:02] <XATRIX> only root acc..
[12:02] <phix> Ben64: It works fine for me
[12:02] <Ben64> XATRIX: try just "ifconfig"
[12:03] <RawProduce> Canis__: I imagine that that file would be somewhere on the RAMFS it sets up
[12:03] <XATRIX> the same... file or directory not found
[12:03] <RawProduce> Canis__: I'm speculating at this point :)
[12:03] <mun> hi
[12:03] <Ben64> phix: if you need 58GB of memory and you only have 8GB of real memory, something is terribly terribly wrong
[12:03] <Ben64> XATRIX: ls -l /sbin/ifconfig
[12:03] <mun> i'm partitioning my drive in preparation to installing windows and ubuntu. does it matter the order of the partitions? e.g., could /home come last?
[12:03] <Canis__> So instead of chosing to install right away, just go from there?  I didn't think about that.
[12:04] <Ben64> mun: doesn't matter, but windows should be installed first or you will have to fix grub
[12:04] <mun> BedMan, ok
[12:04] <XATRIX> Ben64: i told you, most of my commands don't work bash: /bin/ls : No such file or directory
[12:04] <RawProduce> Canis__: do you mean booting into a live environment first, editing /etc/hosts then kicking off the installer?
[12:05] <Lint> I cannot see language selection option in new ubuntu login screen, why everyone's ignoring me?
[12:05] <rayden_> hi all, can someone tell me how do i change user from terminal to root ?
[12:05] <mun> Ben64, do you know why https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PartitioningSchemes says the extended partition for Linux *must* be last?
[12:05] <Ben64> XATRIX: then.... reinstall? : /
[12:05] <Lint> mun, it's not

[12:05] <omido> My laptop is a Lenovo Thinkpad SL510 with Intel core2dou t9600- 4gb ram- ATI mobilty radeon HD 4500 (256 mb)
[12:06] <overclucker> rayden_: sudo -i; but be careful
[12:06] <Ben64> mun: windows might have some problems booting if it is too far in the drive maybe
[12:06] <llutz> mun: makes partition-layout more clear but has no technical reason
[12:06] <omido> I want to install ubuntu 10.04 64bit
[12:06] <mun> ok. thanks
[12:06] <Lint> Ben64, it's FUD from NT4 times
[12:06] <rayden_> overclucker,  why carefull
[12:06] <overclucker> rayden_: if  you only have a few commands to run as root prefix them with sudo
[12:07] <overclucker> rayden_: as root you can alter the system, not just your user files
[12:07] <rayden_> works .. thx a lot
[12:07] <CasmoNL> Hi, even after removing sendmail (with apt-get, running Ubuntu 10.04), it's still running, is there any way to completely disable it? Googling didn't help me that much..
[12:08] <XATRIX> Ben64: it's not a good idea to
[12:08] <rayden_> overclucker,  can u tell me how to run .bat files?
[12:08] <Ben64> XATRIX: if you can't even ls, the system is pretty messed up
[12:08] <XATRIX> i'd like to fix it... reinstall is only way for MS users
[12:08] <mun> so is each home and root a separate partition?
[12:08] <Ben64> XATRIX: do you know what you did to break it?
[12:09]  * Lint facepalms
[12:09] <Ben64> mun: it can be
[12:09] <mun> as in, separate primary paritions?
[12:09] <overclucker> rayden_: windows batch files?
[12:09] <rayden_> overclucker, yes
[12:09] <rayden_> overclucker, i want to start a windows server for a game
[12:09] <overclucker> rayden_: not sure how useful they will be on linux
[12:10] <XATRIX> Ben64: i'm not sure... but i have some feeling it was hacked off
[12:10] <overclucker> rayden_: check out wine, or virtualbox
[12:10] <mun> are there particular benefits if /home and / are logical partitions inside an extended partition?
[12:10] <ubernoob> ok, downloaded virtualbox, found a video showing how to install W7 on virtualbox, I figure PCBSD should install in much the same way.
[12:10] <Ben64> XATRIX: without knowing the best solution is reinstall...
[12:10] <ubernoob> really surprised at how low the memory allowance is
[12:10] <llutz> XATRIX: if a system was hacked, reinstallation from clean media is the only way to go
[12:10] <ubernoob> seems very strange
[12:11] <ubernoob> anyway, thanks all.
[12:11] <ubernoob> hope this works :)
[12:11] <Lint> XATRIX, if you suspect you've been hacked, you should format your system and redeploy everything
[12:11] <llutz> mun: just the benefit not to worry about partition count limitation (max 4 primaries)
[12:11] <Canis__> Yes, that's what I meant.  I'm just waking up still.  Horrible at complete thoughts.
[12:11] <mun> llutz, right. do you know why Extended partition is greyed out in my gparted?
[12:12] <llutz> mun no
[12:12] <Ben64> its always good to have an extended partition so you can add more if you want later
[12:12] <mun> Ben64, could the windows and linux partitions site inside an extended partition?
[12:13] <Lint> mun sure thing
[12:14] <Lint> mun but windows need to have an active primary partition to boot from
[12:14] <mun> Lint, right. so does that mean windows has to be on its own primary partition then?
[12:15] <Lint> no, it requires a small primary partition, just several megabytes. everyhting else may be placed in extended partition
[12:15] <Lint> mun windows 7 creates 100MB boot partition by default
[12:16] <omido> Lint:  Windows 7 is awesome
[12:16] <omido> Ubuntu is a windows 7 wanna be
[12:16] <mun> Lint, so can I just leave some unallocated space or do i need to create that primary partition?
[12:17] <Squarism> is there any command within "terminal" that copies whats on the prompt onto the "clipboard" ?
[12:17] <Lint> mun you need to create it and made active one, so that windows installer could reuse it
[12:17] <Dr_willis> Squarism:  ive seen command line clipbord tools in the repos.
[12:17] <ActionParsnip> omido: why would anything want to be anything like Win7?
[12:17] <Squarism> Dr_willis, oh.. thanks
[12:17] <mun> Lint, i see.
[12:17] <Lint> ActionParsnip, because windows 7 is THE OS
[12:18] <Dr_willis> Squarism:  or you can just select, and middle click to paste.
[12:18] <ActionParsnip> Lint: depends on needs
[12:18] <Dr_willis> Squarism:  most terminal apps have the copy/paste items also
[12:18] <phix> Lint: not nesseccary unless you are using encryption or LVM
[12:18] <CasmoNL> Lint, you can get rid of the 100MB partition at install :P
[12:18] <Squarism> Dr_willis, required a mouse !! =(
[12:18] <omido> ActionParsnip:  Cause its a very good product and a true commercial success. you cant even imagine how much profit MS wons out of Win7
[12:18] <Squarism> i wanna be mouseless
[12:18] <CasmoNL> Lint: start install, create partition, remove partition, extend 100mb partition to full, et voila. ;)

[12:19] <bazhang> omido, this is support only. lets take chit chat to #ubuntu-offtopic
[12:19] <mun> how do you check if a partition is an extended partition in gparted?
[12:19] <Dr_willis> Squarism:  you mean the 'console' ? or a X terminal?
[12:19] <Ben64> mun: the partition number is >4
[12:20] <DJones> bazhang: Ubotto is dead at the minute, its been mentioned in the relevant channels
[12:20] <Lint> it has type of '5'
[12:20] <Squarism> Dr_willis, console called "Terminal" in ubuntu
[12:20] <mun> Ben64, right. the one i'm looking at sdb1 so it can't be an extended one, right?
[12:20] <Ben64> mun: correct
[12:20] <FatDude> Please revive Ubotto as soon as possible.
[12:20] <Squarism> Dr_willis, where you run bash right =D
[12:20] <Dr_willis> Squarism:  the Console is the Alt-ctrl-f1 through f6 Consoles...
[12:21] <Dr_willis> Squarism:  under X  you run terminal-emulators to get a 'terminal'
[12:21] <mun> right. so somehow gparted isn't letting me create an extended one. do i have to boot using the live cd to do it? it's a second drive on my machine.
[12:21] <Lint> in gparted it has a distinct color and
[12:21] <krivc> i have a problem with setting up samba, i cant see my lubuntu computer on windows 7 network
[12:21] <overclucker> Squarism: ctrl+alt+f7 will bring you back to desktop
[12:21] <Ben64> mun: you should be able to do it from your installed version, as long as nothing from that drive is mounted
[12:21] <sattu94> What happened to Ubottu ?
[12:21] <ActionParsnip> krivc: if you run:  smbtree   on the samba server, do you see the shares listed?

[12:37] <angel282> RawProduce: I preferring to use some command without installing third-party applications, does the tar command will backup also the filesystem (kernel etc...)
[12:38] <angel282> ?
[12:38] <melvincv> Hi all. How do I use tar to take a backup of a directory tree, to a tar.gz file, without the whole directory tree appearing in the archive? I gave the command # tar -cvzpf test.tar.gz /home/melvin/new/*            and got a tree structure in the archive, starting from / ??? I need just the tree structure from the folder backed up.
[12:38] <ActionParsnip> ericus: http://arrasthemes.com/2011/12/the-acer-aspire-s3-putting-the-%E2%80%98ultra%E2%80%99-in-ultrabooks/
[12:38] <ActionParsnip> ericus: seems to say it runs well
[12:38] <Dr_willis> ericus:  problem with a lot of new laptops is the lninux kernel and pwoer saveings features have not caught up with the new hardware out. or have bugs. so your battery life maybe much worse under ubuntu/linux.
[12:39] <ericus> i have looked into that, looks nice ActionPartnership
[12:39] <krivc> Lint: my iptables is empty, should i add samba there?
[12:39] <ericus> yeah i know Dr_willis
[12:40] <ActionParsnip> melvincv: try: cd $HOME; tar cvzpf test.tar.gz ./new/*
[12:41] <ActionParsnip> ericus: shame its an intel cpu
[12:41] <RawProduce> angel282: yes, tar will backup the kernel
[12:41] <RawProduce> but not the bootloader
[12:41] <RawProduce> you probably want to use dd
[12:42] <RawProduce> angel282: http://www.linuxweblog.com/dd-image
[12:42] <krivc> i can ping my lubuntu machine from windows, but i cant ping windows machine from lubuntu, how can it be posssible?

[12:44] <Walther> Is there a way to remove the entire graphical interface from Ubuntu? I want to have a CLI-only Ubuntu install, but ALT CD did not work properly
[12:44] <Engin> hello, how do i get the functionality of "System/Hardware Drivers" from command line ?
[12:45] <melvincv> ActionParsnip, I'm getting . > new > files. I need files directly, any ideas?
[12:45] <Walther> Is there a metapackage I could remove which would have all the dependencies
[12:45] <Walther> Already tried removing unity and ubuntu.desktop
[12:45] <Dr_willis> Walther:  removeing meta-packages dosent really remove stuff that way.
[12:45] <Lint> krivc, when you opening \\<lubuntu's IP address> from win7, what's happening
[12:45] <Walther> Dr_willis: but shouldn't other packages depend on them and auto-remove remove them?
[12:46] <RawProduce> Walther: try Debian :)
[12:46] <Dr_willis> Walther:   it never seems to work that way. like with 'ubuntu-desktop' meta package.
[12:46] <Walther> Not willing to try Debian now
[12:46] <Walther> So, any ideas?
[12:46] <Dr_willis> Walther:  odd the alt-cd disent work. theres the minimal cd.. or check askubuntu.com they most likely have some ansqer/script to do it
[12:46] <RaydeN_> is there a way to install yahoo messenger to ubuntu?
[12:46] <ericus>  /win 3
[12:46] <Dr_willis> i keep the desktop stuff on my headless server  for my vnc/ssh needs.
[12:46] <ActionParsnip> melvincv: not sure, I've always used GUI to compress TBH
[12:47] <Walther> Dr_willis: It didn't recognise my wireless card, hence the install didn't have any networking
[12:47] <Dr_willis> RaydeN_:  theres im clients that can do Yahoo.
[12:47] <RawProduce> RaydeN_: use wine
[12:47] <Dr_willis> Walther:  you can set up wireless via the command line. but ive not done it in ages. My servers are all wired.
[12:47] <konstantin_> hi!

[12:48] <RawProduce> uni4dfx: use cmake, autotools will drive you insane
[12:48] <Lint> krivc, had you created samba accounts for windows users on lubuntu machine?
[12:48] <ActionParsnip> RaydeN_: there used to be a native client made by yahoo, there also used to be gyache
[12:48] <Walther> Dr_willis: Again, it did not install it properly. Modprobing etc did not fix it
[12:48] <krivc> yes i create it with smbpasswd
[12:48] <melvincv> what does the -C option do in tar? man pages seem confusing.
[12:49] <uni4dfx> RawProduce you can say that again, but it's not my choice
[12:49] <monohedron> can somebody give me a pointer to where I can lookup the diffrent font coulours used in the terminal window

[12:49] <Lint> krivc, does that password work
[12:49] <ix_> does anyone know how to make the 3d pie chart in libreoffice thinner?

[12:50] <ix_> Lint, I know...
[12:50] <RawProduce> uni4dfx: in that case, I'm sorry for the pain you're about to experience and I have no idea where to find good docs :)
[12:50] <Canis__> What happened to unbuntu over the past 3-4 years?  I remember when you could just "see" NTFS drives and mount them with a right click.  Am I mistaken?

[12:51] <ActionParsnip> Canis__: never had an issue here

[12:53] <monohedron> need guide to different colors in Gnome Terminal
[12:53] <melvincv> Is there a sys admin channel? Maybe #ubuntu-server ?
[12:54] <ActionParsnip> Walther: sure, uninstall xorg
[12:54] <Canis__> ...I'm a little slow, please try to forget I asked the question.
[12:54] <Walther> ActionParsnip: already did that, did not remove / make obsolete any GUI-dependent packages
[12:54] <Engin> looks like the hardware driver management tool's name is jockey, but can't see how or if I can access it from command line. Aany ideas ?
[12:55] <aQute> i recently installed ubuntu 12.04 alpha2 and now I am getting an error while install updates something called partial upgrade(can t install all the updates), can anybody tell me how to deal with that ?
[12:55] <n3uron_> engin, not even jokey-gtk?
[12:55] <Engin> n3uron_: i don't have X
[12:55] <n3uron_> ah
[12:56] <Engin> this is a netbook with ubuntu-server on it
[12:56] <Engin> unfortunetely wifi is not working
[12:56] <Engin> but supposed to work with hardware drivers tool.
[12:56] <DJones> aQute: Can you ask that in #ubuntu+1 thats the support channel for 12.04 while its being developed
[12:56] <Walther> aQute: partial upgrades are perfectly normal during alpha releases
[12:56] <ActionParsnip> Walther: you will just need to keep removing xorg based stuf and even gnome lib stuff and eventually the OS will fail deps and the rest will tumble down
[12:56] <aQute> DJones: thanks i' ll do that
[12:56] <Walther> aQute: no need to ask
[12:57] <Engin> maybe i should just enable desktop -- could be of use for some other purposes too
[12:57] <Engin> what is the appropriate way to add dektop environment to ubuntu-server ?
[12:57] <Walther> aQute: I've been using all the versions since 10.04 from alphas :P
[12:57] <aQute> so do u know how to fix it ?
[12:57] <krivc> i allow in/out traffic for my lubuntu machine ip ob windows firewal, but still i cant ping windows machine from lubuntu
[12:58] <FatDude> I'm smoking pot and using Ubuntu Linux.
[12:58] <FatDude> I recommend it.
[12:58] <aQute> its first time for me (pre release installation)
[12:58] <Walther> aQute: just run the partial upgrade
[12:58] <monohedron> where to post screenshots ?
[12:58] <Engin> ubuntu-desktop i suppose
[12:58] <duelle> Hi, is there any chance to recover an encrypted partition when the partitiontable is broken? And how can i repair it?

[12:58] <Engin> hole mother of packages..
[12:58] <Walther> BRB
[12:59] <aQute> yes when i do partial upgrade it dosen t upgrades it, it stops

[13:00] <monohedron> especially the purple
[13:00] <Lint> gufw appears broken ufter upgrade: all its controls are disabled; how to fix?
[13:00] <Walther> aQute: sudo apt-get update
[13:01] <Walther> aQute: update first, then dist-upgrade
[13:01] <ActionParsnip> monohedron: blue is a folder
[13:01] <Walther> aQute: also, you might try sudo apt-get upgrade and then dist-upgrade
[13:01] <aQute> k i ll do dist-upgrade, thanks
[13:01] <FatDude> \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
[13:01] <monohedron> yes and the black  font is a normal file
[13:01] <remali> hello all
[13:01] <Lint> !ops
[13:01] <monohedron> but what is purple ?
[13:02] <ActionParsnip> monohedron: the purple is a file which is rw-r-r
[13:02] <ActionParsnip> monohedron: the ls -l filename    shows you the access
[13:02] <FatDude> Woops, stupid cat. My bad.
[13:03] <monohedron> ActionParsnip, nope they all have the same permissions according to ls -l
[13:03] <Myrtti> Lint: in the future it helps if you include the nickname who is troublesome as well with |nick
[13:03] <melvincv> FatDude, Did the cat do that? :D
[13:03] <Walther> Lol. I removed some packages including lightdm, now when I boot, the boot splash stays on tty7 :D
[13:03] <FatDude> melvincv: Well, small kitten.
[13:04] <monohedron> ActionParsnip, I suspect they mey be links or something but I have no idea how to check it
[13:04] <Walther> How can I completely remove X on Ubuntu?
[13:04] <Walther> I mean, CLI would still work, rigth?
[13:04] <RaydeN_> can someone help me to install a game server pls?
[13:05] <krivc> Lint: can be some problems because i have this line in smb.conf: name resolve order = bcast host wins
[13:05] <ActionParsnip> monohedron: ls -l filename  or   file filename
[13:05] <Lint> Walther, it's a part of bootloader
[13:05] <Walther> Lint: Okay, what packages should I remove to have a CLI-only Ubuntu?
[13:05] <Lint> krivc, no, because it's client setting, you're a server now
[13:06] <FatDude> Walther: X11, Gnome, Xfce, KDE.
[13:06] <Lint> Walther, look for 'boot' and 'gfx' in package descriptions
[13:06] <Lint> or 'splash'
[13:06] <monohedron> ActionParsnip, nope they both still show as the same. let me run a find over the disk to see whether they exist somewhere else
[13:06] <Walther> FatDude: will the CLI work without x? keyboard is part of x right?
[13:07] <ActionParsnip> Walther: if you remove all gui apps and x you will boot to a CLI based OS only
[13:07] <Walther> but x11 is not necessary for CLI for example for kb input?
[13:07] <Lint> ActionParsnip, he probably means that grub sets his system in graphics mode
[13:08] <Walther> Lint: no, the splash thing was just a funny sidenote
[13:08] <ActionParsnip> Walther: the cli os will still take keyboard input
[13:08] <Walther> ok
[13:08] <ActionParsnip> Lint: yeah I think thats the dealio :)
[13:08] <Lint> Walther, it's a separate package for console input, and separate for X input
[13:08] <ActionParsnip> Walther: if you add the boot option: text    you will boot CLI only
[13:09] <kbotnen_> Walther, If you dont want X / graphics ubuntu is probably not the distro for you?
[13:09] <Walther> ActionParsnip: sure, but boot splash doesn't annoy me at all
[13:09] <ActionParsnip> Walther: if you want gnome removing you could run:  sudo apt-get --purge remove `dpkg -l | grep gnome`
[13:09] <Walther> kbotnen_: I am familiar with ubuntu, its cli, its repositories, etc
[13:09] <ActionParsnip> Walther: should remove enough
[13:09] <Walther> ActionParsnip: ...or run apt-get remove gnome*
[13:10] <Lint> Walther, you may need 'console-input' package to customize keyboard layouts without X
[13:10] <ActionParsnip> Walther: my command will cover that too, but also remove libgnome and so on
[13:10] <djota> is there any workaround for this problem: http://www.mail-archive.com/gnome-colors-packagers@lists.launchpad.net/msg00316.html ???
[13:11] <Walther> Is there a command to see all the installed software?
[13:11] <Walther> And preferably, grep out the libs (there are tons of libs)
[13:11] <ActionParsnip> Walther: dpkg -l | less
[13:11] <ActionParsnip> Walther: dpkg -l | grep -v lib | less     to NOT see packages with 'lib' in them
[13:12] <Walther> ha, -v inverses, thanks
[13:12] <ActionParsnip> yep in(v)erse
[13:12] <ActionParsnip> is how I remember it
[13:13] <ubernoob> hi, is it normal for VirtualBox to take ages to install an OS from disc? I'm only 3% of the way through an installation of PCBSD9 and it seems to be dragging on inordinately. I did select a lot of packages but, I think there should have been more progress than this.
[13:13] <ikonia> ubernoob: can be depending on your machine, the host, the guests config etc
[13:13] <Walther> ActionParsnip: -l lists all packages, how to see only the installed ones
[13:13] <ActionParsnip> ubernoob: did you MD5 test the ISO too?
[13:14] <ActionParsnip> Walther: yes, thats why you pipe to grep
[13:14] <alex54321> anyone have installed succesfuly league of legends ?
[13:14] <Walther> ActionParsnip: that removed the libs, but not the ones that are not installed
[13:14] <ubernoob> ActionParsnip, nope, I downloaded it from their mirror and burned it to a disc without doing any checks. I don't think there's anything wrong with the image as such.
[13:14] <djota> ubernoob: that can be kinda normal
[13:15] <ActionParsnip> ubernoob: then how did you know the ISO was complete and consistent?
[13:15] <ubernoob> My hunch is that it's the packages that I've selected, that it's trying to download and is taking a long while doing so.
[13:15] <ActionParsnip> Walther: you can't see the ones that aren't installed
[13:15] <ubernoob> ActionParsnip, good point but tbh I've never burnt an image from there or ubuntu or debian that wasn't working perfectly.
[13:17] <ubernoob> djota, I think it's been 20-30 minutes so far. If this was a windows install, I'd understand as those things can 'hang' for ages before suddenly spurting to the finish, but Linux/FreeBSD usually install at a consistent pace and quickly (overall).
[13:17] <ActionParsnip> ubernoob: if you don't use torrents, the data needs to be checked so you know the data isn't damaged
[13:17] <alex54321> anyone have installed succesfuly league of legends ?
[13:17] <ActionParsnip> ubernoob: I'd give it a while but I'd check the ISO
[13:17] <ubernoob> ActionParsnip, I'll keep that in mind, once this installation completes/falls over.
[13:18] <ActionParsnip> Walther: unless you tell apt-cache to show you every package and grep stuff, it will be a big list
[13:18] <Squarism> Even if i successfully build and link libraries into executables, bod objdump and ldd doesn show them as dependencies in ubuntu 11.10?!
[13:19] <Squarism> both
[13:19] <Squarism> ....instead of bod =D

[13:19] <Walther> Is there a way to configure mobile broadband on CLI?

[13:21] <ubernoob> what do you guys do for 'fun' with linux/freebsd? I've got my 'work' stuff setup, I want to learn more bash, vi, perl and python, I see so many things that I should know more of but... to be honest, I think I spend a lot of time just dithering and not making genuine progress in the way of learning how to administer, configure, customise and extend my system(s)...

[13:33] <ActionParsnip> ubernoob: runs well on my GF6150LE onboard
[13:33] <djota> ubernoob: google snes emulator
[13:33] <Dr_willis> Metaphysicist:  from the discussions icve seen in here. such measures are not needed. and dont do any good.
[13:33] <jatt> ubernoob: surely you bought the games you are looking roms for
[13:33] <ActionParsnip> ubernoob: with single core sempron am2 @ 1.6Ghz and 2Gb DDR2
[13:33] <jatt> ubernoob: otherwise you might be doing something illegal
[13:33] <Dr_willis> ubernoob:  its technically not legal to just download them.
[13:33] <ActionParsnip> Dr_willis: nice
[13:34] <Dr_willis> ubernoob:  theres emularots in the repors or at linux game sites. or at the getdeb sites
[13:34] <ActionParsnip> there are legal roms for old games
[13:34] <jatt> where
[13:34] <ActionParsnip> playonlinux ppa has some nice emulators too
[13:34] <Dr_willis> ubernoob:  check out the various emulator sites to see what emus are good these days.

[13:56] <ActionParsnip> Viman: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1000281#p1000281   shows that you should check your lxde-rc.xml

[14:02] <Saleem> Ubuntu 12.04 is going to be LTS ?
[14:02] <Pici> Saleem: yes.
[14:02] <ActionParsnip> Saleem: yes
[14:02] <mun> Lint, i've figured out why: the partition table is gpt rather than msdos!
[14:02] <ActionParsnip> Saleem: LTS every 2 yes, 8.04, 10.04, 12.04 and so on
[14:02] <Lint> mun then you don't need extended partitions
[14:02] <Saleem> thank you, i was wondering is it worth to install previous LTS version on our college pcs for meanwhile?
[14:03] <mun> Lint, oh? does that mean I can have as many partitions as I want then?
[14:03] <ActionParsnip> Saleem: i'd wait til april personally
[14:03] <Lint> mun 127
[14:03] <ActionParsnip> Saleem: save having to upgrade
[14:03] <mun> Lint, i see. thanks.
[14:04] <Saleem> after a long debate it was decided that ubuntu/lubuntu is the best option we can use for our students who are least linux literate
[14:04] <ActionParsnip> Saleem: lubuntu will give more resources to your apps, it holds your hand less for config and such
[14:06] <Saleem> ActionParsnip, that and plus it makes windows users feel at home, plus ubuntu autoconfigures most of the common hardware and we have some pentium II series pcs which we want to revitalize
[14:07] <Saleem> so till next LTS release students can learn and play for a while till we get them latest release for coming years
[14:07] <ActionParsnip> ,Saleem its the same OS underneath, just different UI
[14:07] <Saleem> yes ActionParsnip , lxde suits all our needs
[14:08] <ActionParsnip> Saleem: well, the LTS will be supported 5 years, so you don't even need to get the next LTS if you don't want
[14:08] <ActionParsnip> LXDE is awesome imho :)
[14:09] <Saleem> ActionParsnip, this is great :)
[14:09] <sls> hello
[14:09] <mun> i've just created a new partition, how do i mount it without rebooting?
[14:10] <Saleem> amazingly our principal knew there is a "ubuntu" :)
[14:10] <dlentz> Saleem, i don't know if it will affect the final 12.04 release, but there are issues with older hardware and  the pae kernel
[14:10] <ActionParsnip> mun: look into the mount command, if you add it in /etc/fstab you can run:  sudo mount -a   and it will mount without reboot
[14:10] <mun> i've tried right clicking in nautilus but it doesn't seem to do anything
[14:10] <headpool182> hello, i was wondering if anyone could assist me in connecting my blackberry
[14:11] <Saleem> dlentz, ah, so i guess we can use and stick to current LTS
[14:12] <mun> ActionParsnip, thanks!
[14:12] <headpool182> !barry
[14:14] <Viman> Action: guest session alt-f2 works only once
[14:14] <Viman> Action: I meant... new user session
[14:14] <Saleem> thank you ActionParsnip , thank you dlentz , indeed now i have more clear picture about what we need and im sure our computer lab will run smoothly with lubuntu 10.04 LTS
[14:14] <ActionParsnip> Viman: what is the output of:  lsb_release -sc
[14:14] <Viman> Ubuntu 11.10 codename oneiric
[14:15] <mun> ActionParsnip, hmm i've added the entry into fstab and mounted it, but i can't seem to write to it.
[14:15] <Saleem> i will test the livecd on my own pc first, brb
[14:15] <headpool182> is there anyway to check the power of my usb ports?
[14:15] <ActionParsnip> mun: you'll need different options in fstab then
[14:15] <share> hello I'm have a problem in Ubuntu.  something is always sending data to the IR receiver

[14:16] <share> because nothing is always sending data to the remote. any tip to fix this?
[14:16] <Viman> ActionParsnip: thank you for the attention. On my way to filing
[14:16] <mun> ActionParsnip, hmm no. this is ext4
[14:16] <mun> ActionParsnip, i can't unmount it in nautilus. when i do, it says Unable to unmount 476GB file system: daemon is hibited.
[14:16] <share> 'sudo cat /dev/lirc0'  shows data being sent and the IR receiver led is always on.
[14:16] <mun> ActionParsnip, i can unmount it in gparted though
[14:16] <ActionParsnip> mun: have you chowned the mount point to your user?
[14:16] <mun> ActionParsnip, oh right
[14:17] <ActionParsnip> share: unload then reload the driver module, does it help?
[14:17] <ActionParsnip> Viman: you could always install gmrun and bind ALT+F2 to run gmrun
[14:17] <mun> ActionParsnip, works now! thanks
[14:17] <ActionParsnip> mun np :)
[14:18] <Viman> Action: I'll try the suggestion
[14:18] <ActionParsnip> !info gmrun
[14:18] <ActionParsnip> yep, gmrun
[14:18] <ActionParsnip> its a way to get ALT+F2 in Natty too :)
[14:19] <raju> may i get netwrok help here ?
[14:19] <Viman> Action: interesting, I never thought about replacing a run dialog, except for using a widget
[14:19] <ActionParsnip> Viman: gmrun supports tab completing too, you can also add your own commands and so on

[14:32] <eSoul> Kenjiro -- Oh so nice :-p
[14:32] <Kenjiro> I don't know to which version it jumped. I know it finished the upgrade without complaints. Then the guy restarted the server as it required
[14:32] <Kenjiro> now the server won't boot
[14:33] <Kenjiro> it stops on grub saying "grub rescue>" and that's all
[14:33] <Kenjiro> and the nice thing is.. this co-worker left the bomb for me to "disarm" ;)

[14:49] <daschel> I'm having an issue with my wacom drawing tablet.  Every now and then (every month and a half or so) after a software update my tablet stops working.  unfortunately I'm not sure which update is causing it (I suspect something with x.org), and I have to manually install the drivers.  that's not a huge problem, but this time after reinstalling the drivers my tablet isn't responding the same way.  For one, the resolution of my tablet compared to
[14:49] <daschel> my monitor is now 1:1.   This is actually a good thing because I had tried accomplishing this in the past but had no luck.  The other changes in my pad are less identifiable.  The best way I can describe it is that simply the feel is wrong.  I know that's not helpful, but none of the settings appear changed, and I'm not sure what to search for elsewhere.  has anyone heard of a similar issue?

[14:56] <overclucker> alex54321: chmod +rw folder
[14:56] <alex54321> ok
[14:58] <meskarune> alex54321: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chmod  that site explains the notation to use for file permissions. just make sure not to change your permissions to something unsecure
[14:58] <dat789> exactly
[14:58] <amaroks> Hello
[14:58] <dat789> use chmod cautiously
[14:58] <amaroks> My server has very high load and when i run top -c , I see too many of those:
[14:58] <amaroks> 1089 root      15   0  1708  568  484 S  0.0  0.1   0:00.00 ./ssh-brute list.txt combos 3 5 2000 vuln.txt 22
[14:58] <amaroks> what is this process?
[14:59] <dat789> you could change the permission and after finished what you do change it back if necessary
[14:59] <sskalnik> You can see it references "linux/compiler.h", but can't find it
[14:59] <Pici> amaroks: It looks malicious to me.
[14:59] <amaroks> to me too
[14:59] <amaroks> How can I find out where is that script running?
[14:59] <ikonia> amaroks: do a find on it
[15:00] <amaroks> how
[15:00] <amaroks> find xxx , what?
[15:00] <overclucker> amaroks: ssh-brute soounds shifty
[15:00] <ikonia> amaroks: you're going to have to probably re-install your OS as it looks like you have been compromised and are being used to do brute force attacks
[15:00] <ikonia> amaroks: find / -name ssh-brute -print and then do the same on list.txt
[15:00] <meskarune> amaroks: use the lsof command to find what files and processes are connected
[15:00] <ikonia> amaroks: list.txt is probably in the same dir as ssh-brute
[15:01] <sskalnik> http://paste.ubuntu.com/841774/ <---- this is my DKMS.conf file. Did I bork something up? The INCLUDEDIR is correct
[15:01] <meskarune> amaroks: you might pipe lsof's output to grep to find specifically what you want
[15:01] <jnwhiteh> I'm having a terrible issue with 11.10 on my Thinkpad. Every few characters when I'm typing code into my gvim window, I get this terribly loud and annoying beep. I've searched for ways to disable this but most seem to be for previous versions of Ubuntu. Does anyone have any hints on how I can disable it under 11.10?
[15:02] <amaroks> found it in /tmp/mirkforce/bash/sshbrute/ssh-brute
[15:02] <amaroks> think deleting it and files for it will solve it?
[15:02] <jnwhiteh> Its driving me INSANE
[15:03] <Pumpkin-> no
[15:03] <eSoul> amaroks -- the person that compromised your system will prolly replace it
[15:03] <Pumpkin-> you have been compromised, you have no idea how, and your entire system is untrustworthy
[15:03] <Pumpkin-> the only safe option is to wipe everything and reinstall from known clean media
[15:03] <amaroks> should I change root passwords?
[15:03] <Pumpkin-> (ideally after you have worked out how you got owned, so you don't make that mistake again).
[15:04] <Pici> amaroks: You should backup your critical information and reinstall Ubuntu.
[15:04] <eSoul> change it to something different when you reinstll
[15:04] <auronandace> amaroks: you shouldn't has a root password on ubuntu
[15:04] <Pumpkin-> any attempts to "patch this up" are likely to fail.
[15:04] <sskalnik> The best practice is "nuke from orbit", I believe. Followed by "restore critical data from backup".
[15:04] <share_> OK
[15:04] <amaroks> why not?
[15:04] <monohedron> jnwhiteh, rigth click your sound preferences and disable warnings
[15:04] <share_> why the hell lsusb doesn't work after removing a USB device?
[15:04] <share_> wth
[15:04] <ikonia> share_: hung your usb port ?
[15:04] <ActionParsnip> jnwhiteh: is pcspkr loaded?
[15:05] <jnwhiteh> monohedron: I don't see 'disable warnings' anywhere
[15:05] <amaroks> also found this in cron.d: * * * * * /tmp/mirkforce/bash/update >/dev/null 2>&1
[15:05] <ikonia> amaroks: your machine is compromised, you need to re-install
[15:05] <monohedron> jnwhiteh, soundefects upper right hand
[15:05] <jnwhiteh> ActionParsnip: lsmod | grep pcskpr doesn't return any results
[15:06] <share_> ikonia: I dunno what you mean by that but after typing lsusb it doesn't show output and I can't ctrl+c to close the terminal. If I insert USB device again lsusb still doesnt work
[15:06] <ActionParsnip> mentions the same script as amaroks crapflingingmonkey.com/wp/2010/03/the-site-was-r00ted/
[15:06] <ActionParsnip> jnwhiteh: hm, ok
[15:06] <damo22> amaroks DONT change your passwords yet until you disconnect from the internet and lan and nuke your system
[15:06] <Muboz> Is there someone that can help me? I have a question about the live usb and casper-rw
[15:06] <ikonia> share_: it sounds like when you removed the usb device it's hung the physical port
[15:07] <amaroks> whats the folder mirkforce for?
[15:07] <amaroks> is that what contains all hacking scripts?
[15:07] <ikonia> amaroks: it doesn't matter
[15:07] <share_> ikonia: something is always sending commands to Infrared receiver. Im trying to solve this problem
[15:07] <ActionParsnip> amaroks: someone puts scripts there to run, you have been compromised
[15:07] <ikonia> amaroks: your machine is compromised, your next action is to re-install your OS
[15:07] <amaroks> it has too many websites :(
[15:07] <jnwhiteh> monohedron: http://images.gammatester.com/pics/7b8ef6da1f5e1f6c60d90603a7c8d45a.png and http://images.gammatester.com/pics/9604db7f72d0b7bf664ad616cfbc5376.png show what I'm seeing.
[15:08] <ikonia> amaroks: it's up to you if you re-install or not, however your machine is compromised and may be removed from the network you are on if you are attacking other machines/spamming
[15:08] <jnwhiteh> If it makes a difference, this is when I have my headphones plugged in. I don't dare take them out because it would drive everyone around me nutss.
[15:08] <monohedron> jnwhiteh, mutre the alert volume
[15:08] <monohedron> mute
[15:09] <jnwhiteh> its not the alert
[15:09] <jnwhiteh> thats the problem
[15:09] <monohedron> hmm
[15:09] <Muboz> MY question is, since the live usb looks for the partition label of "casper-rw" for a persistent space, does it look for this partition label on all drives?
[15:09] <share_> ikonia: yep now mouse doesnt work
[15:09] <monohedron> jnwhiteh, have yout ried to mute it ?
[15:09] <monohedron> tried to
[15:10] <theadmin> Muboz: Partition labels are accessed via /dev/disk/by-label -- if more than one partition with the same label exists, the respective label will most likely fail to even get created, so yes, it won't work if multiple partitions have that label.
[15:10] <jnwhiteh> now I can't get into system settings again
[15:10] <jnwhiteh> ><
[15:10] <jnwhiteh> monohedron: I haven't, because I still want the system-wide alert
[15:11] <jnwhiteh> which is configured at a reasonable volume with a reasonable sound effect
[15:11] <monohedron> jnwhiteh, and if so what applications are listed in the sound settings
[15:11] <jnwhiteh> just Spotify
[15:11] <theadmin> jnwhiteh: Try using pavucontrol to adjust volumes per-app, I think it does system volume too
[15:11] <auronandace> theadmin: isn't that one of the reasons for using uuids instead?
[15:12] <jnwhiteh> monohedron: muting the alert volume seems to do it, but then I don't have system alerts, which is bad.
[15:12] <theadmin> auronandace: Indeed. But (s)he said her/his liveUSB looks for a label, so I'm just answering the actual question.
[15:12] <LuPoX> hi, some one can help me ? i install last version of xubuntu, but my skystar usb hd doesnt work :(
[15:12] <monohedron> jnwhiteh, see the admins comment
[15:12] <jn_> how can i check what version of python is being used ?
[15:12] <theadmin> LuPoX: Won't work how, exactly? Does it create a /dev node at least?
[15:12] <share_> how can I solve lsusb hang
[15:13] <LuPoX> i try kaffeine
[15:13] <LuPoX> and skystar dont appear
[15:13] <LuPoX> but in lsusb apper
[15:13] <theadmin> jn_: python --version
[15:13] <kroonrs> jn_: python -V
[15:13] <LuPoX> 001 Device 002: ID 14f7:0500 TechniSat Digital GmbH DVB-PC TV Star HD
[15:14] <crankharder> what should i do about this: "vim-nox : Depends: libperl5.10 (>= 5.10.1) but it is not going to be installed"
[15:14] <xxiao> jn_: dpkg -l python
[15:14] <jnwhiteh> theadmin: pavucontrol only shows spotify and a single 'system sounds' options, it doesn't break up the system volume into 'normal' and 'eaat splitting beep' =/
[15:14] <xxiao> jn_: or just run python, it will print out this info the first line
[15:14] <meskarune> crankharder: you need to isntall libperl
[15:14] <theadmin> jnwhiteh: Just decrease the system volume then?
[15:14] <Muboz> See, What I am trying to figure out is, If i put the liveusb on this 1gb drive, and if I make a partition labeled "casper-rw" on a different 1gb drive. Will the live usb find the persistent space partition on said separate usb drive?
[15:15] <monohedron> jnwhiteh, what app is beeping ?
[15:15] <theadmin> jnwhiteh: Or wait, do you mean that you get PC speaker beep rather than normal sound alerts??
[15:15] <crankharder> meskarune: E: Unable to locate package libperl
[15:15] <ActionParsnip> LuPoX: does the partition show if you run:  sudo fdisk -l
[15:15] <jnwhiteh> theadmin: yes, it may be the pc speaker, its terrible and ear splitting
[15:15] <jnwhiteh> monohedron: it happens in vim, gvim, terminals, etc.
[15:15] <monohedron> jnwhiteh, so ony in terminal
[15:15] <sskalnik> crankharder:  ran sudo apt-get update recently?
[15:15] <theadmin> jnwhiteh: Gross... you need to install the default sound theme, seems it somehow got removed, sec, I'll look for the package name
[15:15] <crankharder> sskalnik: very recently
[15:15] <monohedron> only
[15:16] <jnwhiteh> monohedron: gvim isn't in a terminal
[15:16] <meskarune> crankharder: libperl-dev search for that
[15:16] <monohedron> gvim
[15:16] <crankharder> libperl-dev : Depends: perl (= 5.10.1-8ubuntu2.1) but it is not going to be installed Depends: libperl5.10 (= 5.10.1-8ubuntu2.1) but it is not going to be installed
[15:16] <sskalnik> crankharder:  Which ubuntu version?
[15:16] <crankharder> 11.10
[15:17] <theadmin> jnwhiteh: Can you try "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-sounds" and then log out and back in to see if it starts working?
[15:17] <meskarune> crankharder: install perl and libperl-dev
[15:17] <crankharder> libperl-dev : Depends: libperl5.10 (= 5.10.1-8ubuntu2.1) but it is not going to be installed perl : Depends: perl-base (= 5.10.1-8ubuntu2.1) but 5.12.4-4 is to be installed
[15:17] <jnwhiteh> theadmin: some applications give me the ubuntu-system-wide alert noise (which is configured to default). But just now, when typing this line to you I got the pc speaker beep.
[15:17] <jnwhiteh> that's in weechat in a terminal session, but is indicitive of the problem
[15:17] <theadmin> jnwhiteh: Mweh... Sounds like some gnome bug
[15:18] <theadmin> jnwhiteh: Not even sure :$
[15:18] <meskarune> crankharder: sudo apt-get install perl-base
[15:18] <Lint> crankharder, I just installed libperl-dev 5,12,4-4
[15:18] <crankharder> perl-base is already the newest version
[15:18] <jnwhiteh> I guess I'll have to disable the alert sound for now, then. I don't have time to download and configure awesome to be usable :P
[15:18] <theadmin> crankharder: Perform a system upgrade, sounds like your system searches for outdated packages... "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade"
[15:18] <monohedron> theadmin, he think has that installed or he couldn't turn that noice of when muting alerts
[15:18] <jnwhiteh> My thesis must take priority
[15:18] <meskarune> crankharder: sudo apt-get install libperl-dev
[15:18] <crankharder> iv'e done that very recently, but i'll try again
[15:18] <crankharder> theadmin:
[15:19] <theadmin> crankharder: Actually, replace that "upgrade" with "dist-upgrade" so it does a smart upgrade rather than a stupid one
[15:19] <jnwhiteh> theadmin: monohedron: yeah ubuntu-sounds is already installed
[15:19] <theadmin> jnwhiteh: Hm well
[15:19] <sskalnik> crankharder:  dist-upgrade?
[15:19] <crankharder> yep, nothing new to install - still won't install libperl-dev
[15:19] <theadmin> jnwhiteh: I don't use any alert sounds at all
[15:19] <monohedron> neither do i
[15:19] <jnwhiteh> yeah, I think that's what I'm going to have to do, because this is unberable.
[15:19] <jnwhiteh> THanks for your help =)
[15:19] <sskalnik> crankharder:  Do you get any messages indicating a conflict with another package?
[15:19] <theadmin> crankharder: Okay, could you please do this: sudo apt-get install aptitude ; sudo aptitude install packagenames
[15:20] <monohedron> welcome
[15:20] <theadmin> crankharder: Replace "packagenames" with whatever it is you're trying to install. It won't magically solve it, but aptitude will print errors which actually make sense
[15:21] <crankharder> theadmin: yea ok, seems like aptitude is working
[15:21] <auronandace> crankharder: have you added any PPAs recently?
[15:21] <crankharder> er wait, lies
[15:21] <crankharder> no
[15:21] <Dani_TM> Hi.
[15:21] <theadmin> They should make aptitude the default imo
[15:21] <crankharder> theadmin: http://pastie.org/3381397
[15:21] <meskarune> crankharder what program are you trying to install?
[15:22] <crankharder> see pastie
[15:22] <Dani_TM> Any news un Ubuntu 12.04 LTS system requirements?
[15:22] <theadmin> crankharder: Try sudo dpkg --configure -a
[15:22] <theadmin> Dani_TM: They'll be basically the same as now -- 512 meters of RAM, i686 compatbile processor
[15:23] <theadmin> Dani_TM: Nothing ever changes much
[15:23] <crankharder> theadmin: http://pastie.org/3381408
[15:24] <theadmin> crankharder: Seen that, thinking
[15:24] <theadmin> crankharder: Ah
[15:24] <Dani_TM> let's hope so, theadmin
[15:24] <Dani_TM> :)
[15:25] <theadmin> crankharder: hmmz... I have no idea, seems like a borked python install to me, I suggest reinstalling python2.6-minimal and python2.6
[15:25] <Muboz> Ok, I'll try it out and hopefully it will work, if not ill experiment with the other thing that was said, by using uuid's
[15:25] <crankharder> theadmin: yea, i just removed them, reinstalled, failed again
[15:25] <theadmin> Dani_TM: I honestly don't care, not an Ubuntu user, but yes, having small requirements is good
[15:25] <theadmin> crankharder: I think you don't need to have both of them at the same time actually
[15:25] <theadmin> crankharder: Could you kill both of them and just install the "python" package?
[15:26] <monohedron> crankharder, apt-get install -f && apt-get upgrade -f
[15:26] <monohedron> should resolve any dependency issues
[15:26] <Guest63044> how to know all the ips connected to localhost?
[15:26] <monohedron> netstat
[15:26] <Guest63044> i mean all machines
[15:26] <theadmin> monohedron: That probably won't work :D apt-get takes only package names after "install", "-f" is not a package. You mean "apt-get -f install" and such.
[15:26] <ActionParsnip> Guest63044: what is the output of:  lsb_release -sc    please
[15:26] <damo22> monohedron is a 2D plane?
[15:27] <auronandace> !fixapt
[15:27] <monohedron> nope i mean apt-get install -f
[15:27] <Guest63044> ActionParsnip, Squeze
[15:27] <ActionParsnip> Guest63044: debian isn't supported here
[15:27] <meskarune> crankharder: http://packages.debian.org/sid/vim-nox
[15:27] <ActionParsnip> Guest63044: this is Ubuntu support
[15:27] <Guest63044> ActionParsnip, and?
[15:27] <ActionParsnip> Guest63044: debian is supported in #debian
[15:27] <Lint> someone told me tehre's no lsb_release on debian
[15:27] <meskarune> crankharder: that is a list of dependancies
[15:27] <Guest63044> ActionParsnip, what is the problem? this is an general propose command
[15:27] <share_> lsusb only hangs if I disconnect the IR receiver that is always receiving data. I dont know what is sending data all the time! how can I know?
[15:27] <share_> lircd is not in use.
[15:28] <ActionParsnip> Guest63044: this isnt a general purpose channel
[15:28] <theadmin> meskarune: uh, don't link to Debian packages here >.< That won't give anything on Ubuntu (dependencies will be named differently, etc). Search on packages.ubuntu.com the next time
[15:28] <crankharder> yea, python looks completely borked
[15:28] <hellhammer> I'm running ubuntu 10.04 no matter what when ever i login the system crashes to the login screen whats going on?
[15:28] <crankharder> python : Depends: python-minimal (= 2.6.5-0ubuntu1) but 2.7.2-7ubuntu2 is to be installed
[15:28] <crankharder> and then i get a scary message about removing python-minimal
[15:29] <theadmin> crankharder: Hm, just had an idea... "sudo apt-get clean && sudo apt-get --reinstall install python"
[15:29] <crankharder> apt-get/aptitude wont install python
[15:29] <monohedron> crank try "apt-get install -f && apt-get upgrade -f" that should resolve dependencies
[15:29] <crankharder> Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
[15:29] <monohedron> hmm
[15:30] <theadmin> crankharder: Err, why do you have held packages exactly? That *will* break things
[15:30] <meskarune> hellhammer: do you have auto login on?
[15:30] <crankharder> i haven't helt broken packages
[15:30] <hellhammer> no
[15:30] <crankharder> at, most I had git-core installed. fresh install yesterday
[15:30] <auronandace> crankharder: how did you install it?
[15:31] <theadmin> crankharder: This is weird. Can you run the "sudo apt-get clean" command and try installing again?
[15:31] <crankharder> theadmin: yes
[15:31] <theadmin> crankharder: Did already?
[15:31] <crankharder> auronandace: downloaded iso, installed in vbox

[15:37] <spaceneedle> One problem with Unity-2d occurs when I log out. The screen freezes for a couple minutes.
[15:37] <share_> damn you AMD
[15:37] <Kenjiro> meskarune: I THINK I found what started the whole problem.
[15:37] <crankharder> theadmin: 11.10
[15:37] <auronandace> crankharder: how did you install git-core
[15:37] <Kenjiro> meskarune: somehow during the upgrade the partition /dev/sda1 was set to be a PV
[15:37] <crankharder> if i remove python-minimal is all hell gonna break loose?
[15:38] <headpool182> is there anyone who can assist me with JACK?
[15:38] <crankharder> auronandace: apt-get install?
[15:38] <melvincv> hey, where's ubottu? Took a break?
[15:38] <Kenjiro> when in fact sda1 was the partition where /boot resides
[15:38] <theadmin> melvincv: She's here
[15:38] <melvincv> I see ukbot giving replies, is he new here?
[15:38] <theadmin> Oh
[15:38] <crankharder> theadmin: auronandace: i didn't do anythign odd 1) fresh install from download yesterday 2) apt-get update ; apt-get dist-upgrade 3) reboot, install git-core vim-nox
[15:38] <theadmin> Huh
[15:39] <DJones> melvincv: She's undergoing maintenance, ukbot is just a short term replacement till ubottu is back up to speed
[15:39] <theadmin> melvincv: join #ubuntu-irc to discuss that, I think they're changing ubottu (she's now going to also have a built-in bantracker afair)
[15:39] <theadmin> crankharder: I'm going to repeat that on a VM, gonna need to download the ISO though. Can you PM me so I don't forget your nickname and can report back the results and a possible fix?
[15:39] <spaceneedle> Reently installed Pychess--jeez louise does it suck up a lot of cpu. Do,t use pychess or glchess. Use dreamchess ! Python is likely the problem.
[15:40] <melvincv> theadmin, I see. So we get an improved version of her?
[15:40] <theadmin> melvincv: Quite so
[15:41] <MonkeyDust> an improved lady, so to say
[15:42] <_Marcus> What was that?

[15:46] <cfhowlett> "netspit"?  Gotta add that to my dictionary.
[15:46] <_Marcus> Ah. What happened to ubottu?
[15:46] <theadmin> _Marcus: As seen above, temporary ubottu replacement
[15:46] <monohedron> coming back later
[15:46] <theadmin> _Marcus: They're adding features to ubottu
[15:47] <_Marcus> Sweet.
[15:47] <LjL> nothing to do with adding features to it, it's just died
[15:47] <ActionParsnip> ubottu is the bom
[15:47] <theadmin> LjL: Oh, isn't the ubottu hackfest today?
[15:47] <theadmin> LjL: Or did I confuse something?
[15:47] <HorizonXP> hey guys
[15:47] <Ann-Maria> which is the best firewall for ubuntu ?
[15:48] <auronandace> !fw
[15:48] <theadmin> Ann-Maria: No best. Ubuntu has iptables built-in. If you want a GUI, try gufw.
[15:48] <cfhowlett> !best|Ann-maria
[15:48] <Ian_Moone> O.o I'm new to IRC....... I have a lot of research to do.
[15:48] <DJones> theadmin: bot hackfest is early March (looking at my emails)
[15:48] <cfhowlett> Ann-Maria: IMHO, depends on your level of exposure and paranoia
[15:48] <theadmin> DJones: Ah... I really confused something lol
[15:48] <HorizonXP> i have a server that is running Ubuntu 10.10 with kernel 2.6.39.1
[15:49] <HorizonXP> never mind the ffact that I should update it
[15:49] <HorizonXP> but right now, it's maxing out CPU usage on kswapd0, and I can't kill the process
[15:49] <HorizonXP> what can I do/
[15:49] <HorizonXP> I see that it's a known issue/bug, so i'm hoping updating the server will help solve the issue
[15:49] <hellboy2783> hello ubuntu world
[15:49] <HorizonXP> but I need to get the usage down first
[15:49] <infinee> Any vim+nerdtree fans here? for some reason I can't go into directories with NERDTree when in the Terminal app of Ubuntu. But I just tested with a plain xterm and it works. Any idea why?
[15:50] <cfhowlett> hellboy2783: greetings
[15:50] <ActionParsnip> HorizonXP: can you kill the process?
[15:51] <OTELO_Koiti> hy. i am not sure if opengl is running right on my system. how can i test it?
[15:51] <HorizonXP> ActionParsnip: no, sending a kill signal 15 or 9 as root doesn't do it
[15:51] <ActionParsnip> OTELO_Koiti: install and run tuxracer :)
[15:51] <HorizonXP> wait
[15:52] <ActionParsnip> HorizonXP: wow, that's not great. does the high cpu start immediately after boot?
[15:52] <HorizonXP> ActionParsnip: it's gone
[15:52] <ActionParsnip> HorizonXP: yay
[15:52] <sipior> infinee: might be useful to compare the value of $TERM in each of those environments.
[15:52] <OTELO_Koiti> kk :D
[15:52] <HorizonXP> ActionParsnip: it must've taken a while to kill is all
[15:52] <HorizonXP> ActionParsnip: ok, time to upgrade this server
[15:52] <ActionParsnip> HorizonXP: sounds like it, crazy days.
[15:52] <damo22> HorizonXP, kswapd means youre running out of ram you cant kill kswapd process
[15:53] <ActionParsnip> HorizonXP: how much ram do you have?
[15:53] <HorizonXP> damo22: that makes sense, but I have 80 MB free
[15:53] <HorizonXP> ActionParsnip, damo22 : 512 on this system. it's a linode.
[15:53] <infinee> sipior: I just googled and found out I can change by doing 'update-alternatives --config x-terminal-emulator'
[15:53] <infinee> sipior: any idea how I get more choices?
[15:54] <sipior> infinee: sure, install more terminal emulators :-)
[15:54] <infinee> sipior: thx :)
[15:56] <OTELO_Koiti> i will not install a game on my pc :D so some other hints?
[15:56] <gast2root> howto hide user switching names?
[15:56] <Ian_Moone> I am running Linux Mint, LTS version, and
[15:56] <Ian_Moone> nothing shows up on the task bar.
[15:57] <theadmin> Ian_Moone: That's not supported here. This channel only offers support on Ubuntu, Xubuntu, Kubuntu, Lubuntu, Ubuntu Server, Ubuntu Studio and Edubuntu.
[15:57] <Possible1994> What is the best (performance wise) filesystem for a SATA3 plugged into a SATA2 port? I was thinking ext4 with journaling turned off, and noatime,nodirtime.
[15:57] <damo22> how do i use dpkg to reconfigure unconfigured packages due to a big list of packages being installed in alphabetical order instead of dep order?
[15:57] <DynamicFail> can you monitor dmesg in a bash script for particular errors?
[15:57] <ActionParsnip> !miint | Ian_Moone
[15:57] <ActionParsnip> !mint
[15:57] <sskalnik> OTELO_Koiti:  opengl screen savers
[15:57] <Ian_Moone> But Mint is ubuntu, essentially...
[15:57] <ActionParsnip> Ian_Moone: its not supported here
[15:57] <Possible1994> I'm not concerned with reliability because I image my root partition frequently
[15:57] <theadmin> Ian_Moone: Still not supported. Not an official derivative and we're not aware of the changes they make (and they make quite a lot actually)
[15:58] <ActionParsnip> Ian_Moone: ubuntu is based on Debian, if you ask for ubuntu support in #debian you will be pointed here
[15:58] <shaneo> would there be a reason why ram is caching more than its using?
[15:58] <sskalnik> Ian_Moone:  but Mint is Mint, so they can help you better in the Mint channel
[15:58] <theadmin> shaneo: Disk cache
[15:58] <theadmin> !linuxatemyram | shaneo
[15:58] <theadmin> huh
[15:58] <Possible1994> Anyone please help me make a choice on which filesystem to use for my SSD?
[15:58] <theadmin> !ram | shaneo
[15:58] <ActionParsnip> Possible1994: could use ext2, no journal
[15:58] <shaneo> it justs seems like im not get the performance i should with 8gb
[15:59] <theadmin> shaneo: You running on 64-bit surely?
[15:59] <shaneo> the max ram it uses is 1.6 but cache is 6.4
[15:59] <shaneo> yes 64bit
[15:59] <Kenjiro> meskarune: thanks for the tips
[15:59] <theadmin> shaneo: By cache do you mean swap?
[15:59] <shaneo> no
[15:59] <Possible1994> ActionParsnip, I did, but for some reason noatime,nodirtime and setting tempfs to ram rendered my system unbootable, the tutorial used ext four
[16:00] <shaneo> Mem: 1.5GB Cache:6.4GB
[16:00] <shaneo> Swap: 0%
[16:00] <theadmin> shaneo: Cool, well. Disk cache gets freed when apps require more RAM, so don't worry, it's all fine
[16:00] <shaneo> ok so ill never really see my ram max out
[16:00] <theadmin> shaneo: It just doesn't need more than 1.5G right now so it uses the most of the rest for cache
[16:00] <ActionParsnip> Possible1994: http://askubuntu.com/questions/19376/installing-ubuntu-on-a-ssd
[16:00] <shaneo> i see
[16:01] <shaneo> ok thanks
[16:01] <shaneo> it just seemed weird as its my first time noticing it
[16:01] <ActionParsnip> Possible1994: also put browser cache in ram too, dead handy plus makes web browsing faster
[16:02] <macmartine> Where is the default PATH set in Ubuntu?
[16:02] <jpds> macmartine: echo $PATH
[16:03] <macmartine> jpds: But where is it defined
[16:03] <macmartine> jpds: I don't see it in ~/.bashrc
[16:03] <jpds> macmartine: Looks like /etc/bash_completion
[16:03] <jpds> macmartine: /etc/environment
[16:04] <macmartine> jpds: ah, thanks
[16:04] <macmartine> :q
[16:04] <ActionParsnip> macmartine: /etc/environment afaik
[16:04] <jpds> macmartine: This is not a vim window.
[16:04] <macmartine> hah
[16:04] <theadmin> macmartine: You want /quit not :q
[16:04] <jpds> ActionParsnip: Welcome to a minute ago. ;)
[16:05] <ActionParsnip> macmartine: you can add to it as a user by adding:  export PATH=$PATH:/new/folder
[16:05] <ubernoob> hmm, after a couple of attempts and - finally - a perusal of the help files in VirtualBox, I think I can conclude that PCBSD9 is not compatible with it.
[16:05] <ActionParsnip> jpds: yay, its nice up here
[16:05] <ActionParsnip> macmartine: add that to ~/.bashrc    it allows users to add there own folders and such to PATH
[16:05] <ubernoob> has anyone here managed to run PCBSD9 within virtualbox in ubuntu 11.10?
[16:05] <ActionParsnip> ubernoob: did you check if it was cmpatible on the virtualbox website?
[16:06] <theadmin> ubernoob: Uh... I installed PCBSD on vbox in the past just fine (though the installer crashed cause "not enough disk space", but it appeared to be working well). Also, that's not an Ubuntu issue so...
[16:06] <antihero> Is php5-memcache or php5-dev available for lucid?
[16:06] <ubernoob> ActionParsnip, nope, I checked in the help files within VirtualBox
[16:06] <antihero> *php5-memcached
[16:06] <antihero> just it says "Package php5-memcached is not available, but is referred to by another package."
[16:06] <antihero> and the same for php5-dev
[16:06] <ActionParsnip> ubernoob: i suggest you check stuff before takinbg on projects, as wel as test ISOs
[16:06] <antihero> I'm sure I remember having those packages back on 10.04
[16:07] <ubernoob> theadmin, fair point but I was just communicating my 'results' because I'd come here earlier to get some help on a related matter
[16:07] <Possible1994> ActionParsnip, This is done by setting temp dir to /dev/shm correct? I cannot find this ability in Iron Browser (a Google-data-mining preventing build) of Chromium
[16:07] <ubernoob> ActionParsnip, I should do that, yes.
[16:08] <compdoc> ubernoob, the website mentions some earlier versions of pcbsd work, and all of them:  Requires VT-x or AMD-V hardware virtualization support.
[16:09] <Possible1994> ActionParsnip, I would much rather have a setup where my SSD loads my operating system to a software RAMdisk, and then  boots it, possible?
[16:09] <qw-Russian> help me
[16:09] <qw-Russian> i would like install Skype
[16:10] <qw-Russian> i download skype-ubuntu_2.2.0.35-1_i386.deb
[16:10] <SvenL-> qw-Russian: use skype online with imo.im
[16:10] <ubernoob> compdoc, that's pretty much what the helpfiles say too, but given that the installer wouldn't progress past 4% after attempting a few different configurations, I figured it just wasn't 100% compatible.
[16:10] <theadmin> SvenL-: That's not really a solution.
[16:10] <ubernoob> I'll look into the matter more, later today.
[16:10] <karthick1987> How to create a new user with home folder and sudo rights in ubuntu 10.10?
[16:10] <theadmin> qw-Russian: sudo dpkg -i /path/to/skype-ubuntu_2.2.0.35-1_i386.deb
[16:10] <DJones> !skype | qw-Russian
[16:10] <theadmin> karthick1987: sudo adduser username && sudo usermod -aG admin username
[16:11] <qw-Russian> were /path/to/ my folder ?
[16:11] <_Marcus> qw-Russian: That means the path to Skype
[16:11] <theadmin> qw-Russian: Yes, wherever the downloaded file is stored
[16:12] <ob1t> hello guys, i'm trying to install vmware player v4 into ubuntu 11.10
[16:12] <ob1t> en says:
[16:12] <ob1t> Before you can run VMWare, several modules must be compiled and loaded into the running kernel.
[16:12] <ActionParsnip> Possible1994: i tried to set that up, its tough. You'd need to use something like puppy to do that
[16:12] <ob1t> what can i do to add those modules into the kernel?
[16:12] <meskarune> ob1t: any reason why you want to use vmware instead of virtual box?
[16:12] <theadmin> ob1t: Sounds complicated, why don't you use Virtualbox?
[16:13] <qw-Russian> but i am write konsole cd /home/qw/Загрузки/ that I am now where got skype
[16:13] <ubernoob> if you have multiple swap partitions within an extended partition, each belonging to a separate Linux install, is there any way of identifying which belongs to the current OS? I'm ruling out ext4 partitions being part of Debian as I don't recall it supporting that option, but they could be part of fedora I think.
[16:13] <_Marcus> ob1t: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VMware
[16:13] <ob1t> for compatibility, reason...i use both *nx and win2 in job
[16:13] <theadmin> qw-Russian: Okay, good, now just "sudo dpkg -i skype-ubuntu_2.2.0.35-1_i386.deb"
[16:13] <aKer> can someone help me whit instal l2jserver to ubuntu?
[16:14] <karthick1987> theadmin: Will it add home directory for the user ?
[16:14] <ob1t> and i tested both and prefer vmw
[16:14] <theadmin> karthick1987: Yeah
[16:14] <SvenL-> hello, xrandr displays only a default screen on my laptop, it used to display external output (VGA and HDMI), I installed bumblebee, no success, xrandr --newmode blabla fails. What's the next step ?
[16:14] <qw-Russian> yheadmin, it is all ?
[16:14] <_Marcus> ob1t: I'm sorry, this would be more detailed on what you are doing: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VMware/Player
[16:14] <ob1t> thanks _marcus
[16:15] <karthick1987> theadmin: Similarly how to delete the user including his home directory? Also clear all his user profiles?
[16:15] <theadmin> karthick1987: sudo userdel username && sudo rm -r /home/username
[16:15] <theadmin> qw-Russian: Yep
[16:15] <Sparky__> How do I use Gnome 3 in fallback mode, and not that Gnome Classic (2.32) look-a-like
[16:16] <qw-Russian> thanks i am online i the skype)
[16:16] <theadmin> Sparky__: Err, Gnome Fallback looks like Gnome Classic.
[16:16] <theadmin> Sparky__: Intended to
[16:16] <Sparky__> No it doesnt
[16:16] <theadmin> Sparky__: Yes, it does -- Gnome Shell is what you're looking for
[16:16] <Sparky__> Gnome 3 fallback is black, and looks not like 2.32
[16:16] <Sparky__> Not it's not at all
[16:17] <Sparky__> Gnome shell is totally different.
[16:17] <theadmin> Sparky__: Well, gnome fallback is supposed to look like Gnome 2. Also, you will only get Gnome3 on 11.10 and up, previous versions still have gnome2
[16:17] <ActionParsnip> Sparky__: xfce4 looks like gnome2 too
[16:17] <overclucker> Sparky__: gnome2 panels and all their glory are dead and gone
[16:18] <Sparky__> I'm asking for Gnome 3 fallback, I'm aware ubuntu has gnome-fallback in the repos .. but that is ubuntus spin on it
[16:18] <Sparky__> I want the actual fallback mode for Gnome 3
[16:18] <theadmin> Sparky__: You're on an old ubuntu version?
[16:18] <damo22> Sparky__, compile it and install it from source?
[16:18] <Sparky__> What
[16:18] <ooec> I'm on release 11.10 now and having trouble building a program that is looking for asm-generic/page.h
[16:19] <ooec> previously I would put the kernel sources into /usr/src and then try make install_headers, or move or symlink some directories, but is there a cleaner way?
[16:19] <Sparky__> damo22: Why would I compile it when Gnome 3 is already installed?
[16:19] <_Marcus> Sparky__: Because you want it, don't you?
[16:19] <Sparky__> I have Gnome 3 installed
[16:19] <sipior> ooec: generally you'll want to place kernel sources in your home directory or the like (specifically *not* /usr/src)
[16:19] <Sparky__> All i'm asking for is Gnome 3 in fallback, and not the gnome-fallback package that ubuntu has / ruined.
[16:19] <BlouBlou> and it's possible to have both kde and gnome without mixing applications?
[16:20] <ooec> sipior i guess that's one way to unclutter ;) historically I'm used to the /usr/src directory, and its analagous linux-headers subdirectories that are common
[16:20] <theadmin> BlouBlou: To an extent -- you'll still get some of similar apps (e.g. Nautilus and Dolphin), etc...
[16:20] <Possible1994> ActionParsnip, Does 'aligining" partitions still have any performance advantage for flash storage media?
[16:20] <share_> finally everything is working nicely :)
[16:20] <sipior> ooec: Torvalds had a pretty entertaining rant about the practise a while back. might be worth a google if such things amuse you :-)
[16:21] <damo22> 33% squashfs compressing my new iso :D
[16:21] <ooec> sipior: and then maybe with a CFLAGS -I$HOME/src/asm-generic or similar I can have it override the /usr/include area
[16:21] <share> :)
[16:22] <Beeftenderl> Anyone who can help me with something?
[16:22] <BlouBlou> theadmin: would this work fine? http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/purekde
[16:22] <karthick87> Is it possible to view last command which is executed in my system with time and date and from which IP address ?
[16:22] <rcmaehl> I need help
[16:23] <theadmin> BlouBlou: Well, this would remove Gnome...
[16:23] <ActionParsnip> Possible1994: not sure, not use SSD yet
[16:23] <_Marcus> !help | rcmaehl
[16:23] <Possible1994> In a system with 4GB of RAM, does a swap partition provide any benefit?
[16:23] <ooec> there could be a rant audio stream someplace, or a vocalized set of linus text to speech. lol
[16:23] <rcmaehl> Currently I'm stuck in TTY because X will not autostart with boot and I can't do startx

[16:23] <theadmin> Possible1994: Only hibernation maybe
[16:23] <rcmaehl> _Marcus: also give the person a chance to type their question
[16:23] <Beeftenderl> how do i fix it
[16:23] <BlouBlou> theadmin: Yeah, but would it work fine? I mean, I'm thinking of moving to kde, but not sure if it will work or not
[16:23] <_Marcus> rcmaehl: Sorry :P
[16:23]  * aKer i have l2j server and give me "Unsupported major.minor version 51.0" can someone help pls?

[16:24] <theadmin> BlouBlou: I'm not a KDE fan :D
[16:24] <_Marcus> rcmaehl: startx won't work? Does it say anything to you(errors, messages, anything)?
[16:24] <Beeftenderl> when i try and use the wubi uninstaller, this is the error i get

[16:30] <xtreamer> hi there
[16:30] <qw-Russian> !weather Kherson
[16:32] <Beeftenderl> I feel like a genius :D
[16:32] <ActionParsnip> danileigh79: I can give you my config file if you want :)
[16:32] <Beeftenderl> i flailed around and deleted random files, and now ubuntu can install normally
[16:32] <Beeftenderl> yay
[16:33] <Possible1994> I hate it when something so simple winds up resulting in error after error after error
[16:33] <xtreamer> i've got a question, I installed ubuntu amongside windows, and I wanted to install it on a certain partition, but on the install i didn't selected custom install and it installed without asking anything.Now the problem is I don't know where does ubuntu was installed, i mean on what partition.The partition I wanted ubuntu to be installed was in fact unpartitionned.
[16:33] <pharenozoic> Hi, does anyone here know where the config files for GTK3 Rhythmbox are?
[16:33] <dat789> which version of ubuntu?
[16:33] <xtreamer> pharenozoic: try Amaraok, is way better
[16:34] <theadmin> xtreamer: Open gparted and stare, you'll see where it was installed
[16:34] <dat789> xteremer: look around your C:\
[16:34] <pharenozoic> Thanks for the recommendation, xtreamer, but I would like to get Rhythmbox working first.
[16:34] <dat789> otherwise, in program files
[16:34] <xtreamer> yes, but it only shows sda5 sda6 etc... how do I know from windows on what partition is in fact , like D:\ or E:\
[16:34] <theadmin> dat789: Um, (s)he wasn't using wubi
[16:34] <dat789> ah
[16:35] <theadmin> xtreamer: Linux doesn't use drive letters, so you can't guess that lol

[16:35] <xtreamer> theadmin: I only want to know that he is using space from the unpartitionned space, and not from C:\
[16:35] <meskarune> also pharenozoic: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Rhythmbox
[16:35] <harry_> hay i need help getting terraria on ubuntu for free?
[16:35] <gr33n7007h> you supposedly can using vlc-wrapper
[16:35] <xtreamer> compdoc: yes, it works on dual boot
[16:35] <ActionParsnip> danileigh79: obviously flesh it out with your names and password
[16:36] <theadmin> xtreamer: Well, does gparted show any unformatted partitions?
[16:36] <theadmin> xtreamer: Or any unpartitioned space?
[16:36] <forbidden404> Guys, how do I know the perfect value of MTU in my router? I don't know how to set the ping in terminal to send a especific value
[16:36] <pharenozoic> meskarune: the immediate problem is that Rhythmbox is set to monitor multiple directories (check for new music files). I want to remove one of these directories, but the UI doesn't work.
[16:36] <Khas> Hello.  I just installed the samba package, and it's not created the config directory for it.  Is that supposed to happen?
[16:37] <gr33n7007h> how do you create a user in ubuntu then with password
[16:37] <ActionParsnip> gr33n7007h: sudo adduser newusername
[16:37] <xtreamer> theadmin: unallocated is just 1.05 mega, and there is the partition where ubuntu is installed with 8.07 gigs, and the swap has 2 gigs.I know i had about 10 to 11 gigs of unpartitioned space, so ubuntu used that right?
[16:37] <compdoc> Khas, sure
[16:37] <gr33n7007h> ActionParsnip, does that create a password too
[16:37] <ActionParsnip> Khas: you should have /etc/samba by default
[16:37] <theadmin> xtreamer: Yeah
[16:37] <Khas> ActionParsnip: I don't.
[16:37] <compdoc> Khas, what command did you use to install?
[16:37] <theadmin> xtreamer: Strange it didn't use all of it
[16:37] <Khas> :-)
[16:37] <ActionParsnip> gr33n7007h: you will be prompted to enter one
[16:37] <Khas> apt-get install samba.
[16:37] <theadmin> xtreamer: But oh well :D
[16:37] <danileigh79> ActionParsnip: thx, working on it right now, just working on where the frakking saved file is supposed to be
[16:38] <gr33n7007h> ActionParsnip, cheers
[16:38] <zuhaitz> I just want to say: http://z0r.de/L/z0r-de_3714.swf
[16:38] <ActionParsnip> Khas: what is the output of:  lsb_release -sc   please
[16:38] <meskarune> pharenozoic: is there a .rhythmbox directory in your /home folder?
[16:38] <avieros> How do you configure WPA-EAP in 11.01? my wireless adapter (ASUS usb N-13) recognizes the network just fine, but the system keeps asking me for authentication
[16:38] <xtreamer> theadmin: thanks, I know that was a little stupid question but it is good to know that's not eating space from C:\ ;))
[16:38] <Khas> maverick.
[16:38] <ActionParsnip> danileigh79: gedit ~/.irssi/config
[16:38] <theadmin> xtreamer: Eh it wouldn't resize partitions without warning you first I hope :D
[16:38] <ActionParsnip> avieros: what chip does it use?
[16:39] <avieros> RT2870
[16:39] <pharenozoic> meskarune: Well, I've tried find ~ -iname '*rhythm*' and it only gives ~/.local/share/rhythmbox and ~/.cache/rhythmbox, neither of which seem to contain config info.
[16:39] <meskarune> pharenozoic: http://askubuntu.com/questions/7979/how-can-i-reset-all-rhythmbox-preferences-and-library-information
[16:39] <xtreamer> theadmin: and also, 2 gigs of swap? isn't it much? I was thinking maybe i could save at leas 1 gig from the swap and transfer it to the ubuntu partition. Or it is not possible as long as the ubuntu partition is already formatted
[16:39] <xtreamer> ?
[16:39] <avieros> *ActionParsnip: rt2870
[16:39] <theadmin> xtreamer: It's possible, but only from another OS or a livecd
[16:40] <theadmin> xtreamer: You can't resize the partition the OS is running from :D
[16:40] <pharenozoic> meskarune: Yeah, I've seen that, but ~/.gconf/apps/rhythmbox doesn't exist anymore. I suspect that GTK3 Rhythmbox migrated away from GConf.
[16:40] <theadmin> xtreamer: But meh, 2 gigs swap is fine imo
[16:40] <ActionParsnip> avieros: can that connect to wpa-eap under Linux?
[16:40] <Khas> ActionParsnip: maverick.  Sorry, forgot to highligh
[16:40] <Khas> t
[16:40] <theadmin> pharenozoic: gnome3 apps use a new mechanism called "dconf".
[16:40] <pharenozoic> meskarune: Oh, that's very helpful.
[16:40] <theadmin> pharenozoic: Search around on info on how to edit it's stuff
[16:40] <ActionParsnip> Khas: strange, maverick had it.
[16:41] <mraxilus> anyone know how to easily swap between english and spanish dictonaries?
[16:41] <mraxilus> on 11.10
[16:41] <Khas> ActionParsnip: I previous had samba, then I uninstalled it.
[16:41] <Khas> ActionParsnip: I may have purged it, but I would have assumed that reinstalling would have provided even a default config
[16:41] <avieros> ActionParsnip: it's supposed to be able to, but for some reason it isn't >_<
[16:42] <ActionParsnip> Khas: my /etc/samba/ only has 2 files. I can give them if you want?
[16:42] <Khas> ActionParsnip: In fact, I'm certain I purged it, as it was broken and I new there was a config issue somewhere.  It's just taken me this long to reinstall it.
[16:42] <danileigh79> ActionParsnip: couldn't find the irssi filder you were talking about
[16:42] <xtreamer> theadmin: Ok, i guess I'll leave it like that.I still have some problem with the browser, i think, because i am trying to watch any video and it is kinda laggy, and it does the same with the videos from my pc.As far as I know, the video driver is installed properly, what could be the problem.I couple of weeks ago had installed ubuntu 64 bit version and I thaught that might be the reason of wich the videos are laggy, and also the desktop effects, so made
[16:42] <xtreamer> a clean install of ubuntu 32 bit version.
[16:42] <Khas> ActionParsnip: no thanks, I deliberatly want fresh configs given how fickle samba is.  Does beg the question of why it doesn't install default configs though.
[16:42] <ActionParsnip> danileigh79: that is the config file location for irssi
[16:43] <theadmin> xtreamer: Hmm... Sorry, I've no idea.
[16:43] <ActionParsnip> Khas: mine are default..
[16:43] <theadmin> xtreamer: Does it happen only in the browser?
[16:43] <compdoc> Khas, normally, it does. I install samba on most of my servers
[16:44] <xtreamer> theadmin: specs are, 1024 megabytes video card, 2 gigs of ram, 2.5 gigs processor. And no, it doesn't happend only in the browser, it happends also offline, with some movies i got on my pc.It does the same on multiple video softwares, even on VLC player....
[16:44] <ActionParsnip> Khas: if you reinstall the samba-common package you should get both
[16:44] <danileigh79> ActionParsnip: can you send the loc again? I closed out of irc, sorry
[16:44] <ActionParsnip> Khas: both files come from the samba-common package
[16:44] <theadmin> xtreamer: Sounds like the driver then
[16:44] <ActionParsnip> danileigh79: ~/.irssi/config   is the file to edit
[16:45] <somsip> quit
[16:45] <Khas> ActionParsnip: what else relies on samba-common then?  It's still on my system, and autoremove didn't get rid of it, implying it's still in use.
[16:46] <xtreamer> theadmin: so how can I know if my video driver is installed properly?
[16:46] <theadmin> xtreamer: Open the "Hardware Drivers" app, does it tell you anythin?
[16:46] <ActionParsnip> Khas: not sure, reinstalling it will put the package comtents in the system, including those 2 files
[16:47] <xtreamer> i have ubuntu 11.10, i've opened system settings and then i clicked Additional Drivers. Is that the section?
[16:47] <Khas> ActionParsnip: yeah, doing that now, strange that purging samba removes the files that it shouldn't touch if those files are related to samba-common.
[16:48] <xtreamer> theadmin: i have ubuntu 11.10, i've opened system settings and then i clicked Additional Drivers. Is that the section?
[16:48] <theadmin> xtreamer: I think so yeah
[16:48] <xtreamer> theadmin: oh crap, i liked ubuntu 9.10 better
[16:48] <theadmin> xtreamer: Heh I liked 8.10 the most
[16:49] <theadmin> xtreamer: But those both are EOL.
[16:49] <SLFCore> do you know about the 8.10, 0.10
[16:49] <SLFCore> 9.10*
[16:49] <SLFCore> whats special about those numbers?
[16:49] <ActionParsnip> karmic was solid
[16:49] <SLFCore> month/day
[16:49] <theadmin> SLFCore: Year.Month
[16:49] <SLFCore> yeh
[16:49] <SLFCore> soz
[16:49] <ActionParsnip> SLFCore: old EOL releases
[16:49] <SLFCore> typo lol
[16:49] <SLFCore> i always get mine shipped through canonical
[16:50] <SLFCore> shipit.canonical.com
[16:50] <SLFCore> i have been shipping it since ubuntu 6
[16:50] <SLFCore> for free
[16:50] <ikonia> SLFCore: shipit is dead now.
[16:50] <theadmin> SLFCore: Shipit is closed now, no?
[16:50] <SLFCore> i havent used it since 2 years
[16:50] <SLFCore> yes it has closed
[16:50] <SLFCore> http://www.ubuntu.com/shipit
[16:51] <SLFCore> i hate gnome 3
[16:51] <ikonia> don't use it then
[16:51] <danileigh79> ActionParsnip: thx so much, I have all my settings back to the way I want them... not sure why irssi didn't recognize my backed up nick file...
[16:51] <xtreamer> theadmin: so it opened and this is what it shows, so, what's wrong? http://s16.postimage.org/jkxynf6k3/Screenshot_at_2012_02_14_18_49_51.png
[16:51] <danileigh79> ActionParsnip: like it did the last time
[16:52] <Khas> ActionParsnip: for future reference, there seems to be no relation to ownership of files between samba and samba-common.  I just installed samba-common, and it didn't install samba with it, though it tried to copy the configs across.
[16:52] <theadmin> xtreamer: Try removing 173 and installing current
[16:53] <xtreamer> theadmin: that where it says version current?
[16:53] <theadmin> xtreamer: yesh
[16:53] <xtreamer> ok, txs
[16:53] <ActionParsnip> Khas: I just ran:  dpkg -S smb.conf    and it showed

[17:09] <suporte> please
[17:09] <suporte> help
[17:10] <Pici> Mem_: 9.10 is no longer supported.  You should really upgrade to 10.04.

[17:10] <lab> oops
[17:11] <Pici> Mem_: if for some reason you can't, you can use http://old-releases.ubuntu.com
[17:11] <Mem_> is there some clever way I can upgrade without fudging up all my settings?
[17:11] <jrib> Mem_: the upgrade procedure should not interfere with your current settings
[17:12] <Mem_> old releases sounds promising, but I guess upgrading is better
[17:12] <meskarune> I've never been able to upgrade to a new release without a huge number of bugs....
[17:12] <Mem_> will I need to download the whole dist, or can I sudo apt-get upgrade?
[17:13] <jrib> !upgrade | Mem_
[17:13] <Pici> Mem_: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades/Karmic
[17:13] <Mem_> thanks :)
[17:14] <karthick87> meskarune: Any guess? How to fix the issue?
[17:14] <Mem_> sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
[17:14] <Mem_> crap! this isn't my consoel :(
[17:15] <jrib> Mem_: this incident will be reported.
[17:15] <Mem_> what incident?
[17:15] <Mem_> :(
[17:15] <jrib> Mem_: bad joke
[17:15] <sskalnik> Humor translates poorly over IP.
[17:15] <sskalnik> ;)
[17:15] <Mem_> thought i'd triggered a swear filter or something ;D
[17:15] <meskarune> karthick87: is there a reason why you downgraded? ussually you should use the firefox version that goes with the version of ubuntu you are running
[17:16] <meskarune> karthick87: you could try deleting all your firefox settings, and then reinstalling

[17:43] <satyanash> mrguser, Yep, Valentines Day sucks..
[17:43] <mrguser> okk...exit
[17:45] <trever420> so as I was asking earlier... anyone use WiFiDog in Ubuntu ?
[17:45] <clone1018> Hey guys, having network problems like last night (only after every reboot), eth0, 200kbps+ kills the ethernet connection and then it comes back
[17:46] <trever420> clone1018, how many NICs do you have?
[17:46] <clone1018> one
[17:46] <trever420> eek i was gonna say try another interface and see if it happens on that
[17:47] <trever420> what kind of NIC is it?
[17:47] <clone1018> but see, the last two times after reboot it worked fine
[17:47] <trever420> well could still be a hardware issue
[17:47] <clone1018> http://paste.kde.org/422000/92328132/
[17:47] <module000> clone1018: what do the logs say? and is the NIC managed directly or by something 3rd party like network manager in gnome?
[17:47] <clone1018> I dont think it is, works fine on windows
[17:48] <trever420> hmm... is that really the card? or is that what ubuntu sees it as?
[17:48] <clone1018> I'm actually using kubuntu, but that doesn't matter, these same problems happened on ubuntu too, i'm pretty sure that's the card
[17:48] <clone1018> let me go find my mobo box
[17:48] <module000> clone1018: what do the logs say? (/var/log/kernel & dmesg)
[17:48] <clone1018> Yes it is
[17:49] <clone1018> just a bunch of link up's when it reconnects
[17:49] <module000> clone1018: but what does it say when it goes down?
[17:49] <oich> I've broken dpkg somehow in 10.4.3: update-alternatives --list python prints /usr/bin/python2.6. /usr/share/python/debian_defaults contains default-version = python2.6. /usr/bin/python links to /etc/alternatives/python links to /usr/bin/python2.6. apt-get -f install fails with "/usr/bin/python does not match the default version. It must be reset to point to python2.6. Do you know what I can do?
[17:49] <clone1018> module000: nothing
[17:50] <clone1018> I followed this guide before: http://unixblogger.wordpress.com/2011/10/18/the-pain-of-an-realtek-rtl8111rtl8168-ethernet-card/
[17:50] <module000> clone1018: that's odd, if you pulled the cable out,t he logs would register that.
[17:50] <clone1018> and that worked fine
[17:50] <clone1018> I didnt pull the cable out
[17:50] <module000> clone1018: i'm saying that the logs register even the most ridiculous of events, like pulling out a cable. dmesg doesn't ahve anything when the cards 'dies'?
[17:51] <clone1018> nope, just eth0: link up
[17:51] <module000> clone1018: did you get this behavior before you replaced the included driver? or did it not show up at all then
[17:52] <clone1018> before i replaced, yes, and it seems like I'm back on the old driver
[17:52] <module000> clone1018: down the NIC, then unload the driver adn load the one you want to use, see if behavior changes
[17:52]  * mrguser slaps |PuLi| around a bit with a large E63-1
[17:52] <Pici> mrguser: stop that please.
[17:52] <|PuLi|> why me :(
[17:52] <module000> oich: apt-get install debsums.  that will let you know if the python it's expecting is actually the python its' finding
[17:53] <mrguser> sorry budy:P
[17:53] <Pici> mrguser: do you actually have a support question?
[17:55] <trever420> NOOOO  WTF
[17:55] <trever420> why do many netsplits?
[17:55] <Pici> Calm down.
[17:56] <clone1018> actually, module000, I didnt notice this before, there's an autorun.sh in the driver folder that I just ran, seems everything works now, let me restart a couple of times and see
[17:57] <module000> clone1018: might want to see what is in there also, maybe it's a simple fix

[18:10] <raevol> ok, now when i run dkpg --configre -a i am getting a ton of out of space errors still, but i see they are all having to do with mkinitramfs
[18:10] <theadmin> raevol: Are there old kernels under /boot ?
[18:10] <raevol> theadmin: yes, lots
[18:10] <MonkeyDust> raevol  try this command to find out what large files you have on your drive: find / -size 500M -exec file {} \;
[18:10] <theadmin> raevol: Might want to get rid of those (normally via apt, but if you can't then just rm them for now)
[18:11] <sidvee> ActionParsnip: Am pretty new to this. Would appreciate if you could guide me on to how to check for reported bugs
[18:11] <ysfm> i didnt install grub , get some error... this error log http://paste.ubuntu.com/841970/ can someone help me?
[18:11] <theadmin> MonkeyDust: You want "-size +500M" since that will display only files of size EXACTLY 500M :P
[18:11] <ActionParsnip> sidvee: does this help: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HP%20TouchSmart%20tm2
[18:11] <theadmin> MonkeyDust: I mean, what you gave will only display exact matches

[18:12] <Mac101> hi, again ~ (connection trouble) o.o'
[18:12] <theadmin> MonkeyDust: But, why use the file command on them?

[18:13] <raevol> MonkeyDust: i apparently have nothing over 500 megs :(
[18:13] <martian> Does menuconfig default to the settings that ship with the generic ubuntu kernel?
[18:13] <theadmin> Mac101: Theyzit under /usr/share/applications/ -- edit the .desktop files to change the name respectively, or use lxmed
[18:13] <MonkeyDust> raevol  then reduce 500 to some smaller number
[18:13] <theadmin> martian: Quite so, yes, if you're using "apt-get source linux" to get the source-code

[18:22] <urfr332g0> ysfm, I didn't ask if you installed lately what I was curious about is the order of the ubuntu and debian installs, the last install generally has the grub control in the mbr, debian is grub legacy and ubuntu is grub 2.

[18:22] <sbash> hi there :) may someone help me? I am currently trying to install ubuntu 11.10 on my laptop, using the alternate disc. (I want to install it encrypted). But when it comes to "choose software" and I use the option "ubuntu desktop" it fails after a short moment and wenn, i don't know.  After that, it says that a reboot is neccessary, but it won't load ubuntu, not even the screen for entering...
[18:22] <sbash> ...my password
[18:23] <biombo> I found this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PinningHowto and it have a PPA example but it's not clear how to name the PPAs

[18:33] <urfr332g0> ysfm, I doubt you need to do that, your probably missing grub 2 in the mbr if you did not point it there on the install.

[18:38] <theadmin> jAyenGreen_: Something like this: find /home -type f -iname '*.txt' -exec sed -e '...' '{}' \;
[18:38] <urfr332g0> you*
[18:38] <urfr332g0> ysfm, when I say point I mean the grub
[18:38] <jAyenGreen_> theadmin: thanks!
[18:38] <ysfm> urfr332g0:  ok
[18:38] <anhday> nevermind lol
[18:38] <anhday> they use keyboard shortcut
[18:39] <^3> does anyone know how to change grub2 font colors on ubuntu 11.10? the 05_debian_theme has changed and it doesn't allow to change those easily anymore?
[18:39] <theadmin> jAyenGreen_: Don't forget the "-type f", you don't want sed running on directories :D
[18:39] <urfr332g0> ysfm, is the question confusing?
[18:39] <jAyenGreen_> theadmin: gotcha. thanks again

[18:48] <danileigh79> does anybody know if I connect an android phone, how to view the files in the phone and not the SD card?
[18:49] <meskarune> danileigh79: can you mount the phone's filesytem?
[18:50] <sbash> hi theremay someone help me? I am currently trying to install ubuntu 11.10 on my laptop, using the alternate disc. (I want to install it encrypted). But when it comes to "choose software" and I use the option "ubuntu desktop" it fails after a short moment and yeah, i don't know. After that, it says that a reboot is neccessary, but it won't load ubuntu, not even the screen for entering my password
[18:50] <danileigh79> meskarune: that's what I'm trying to figure out, every time I plug the phone in, it only shows me the SD card contents, not the phone contents
[18:50] <raevol> whatever, i guess i can just not install any packages until april :(
[18:50] <raevol> then i'll just reformat with precise
[18:50] <Simon1245_> Hey guys, how can I fix this? mv: cannot move `asiloader.rar' to `/.wine': Permission denied
[18:51] <ActionParsnip> danileigh79: what phone and android version?
[18:51] <MonkeyDust> Simon1245_  try sudo mv
[18:51] <danileigh79> ActionParsnip: Samsung Illusion, 2.3
[18:51] <ActionParsnip> Simon1245_: do you have write access to the source?
[18:51] <danileigh79> ActionParsnip: It's one of the newest android phones for Verizon
[18:52] <auronandace> Simon1245_: surely you mean ~/.wine/whateveryouwanttocallit
[18:52] <ActionParsnip> danileigh79: and what is the output of:  lsb_release -sc
[18:52] <meskarune> danileigh79: I think the data on the phone is an .img file?
[18:53] <danileigh79> meskarune: not sure, can't seem to locate any way of vieing that info
[18:53] <ActionParsnip> danileigh79: may help http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/12/how-to-easily-mount-the-galaxy-nexus-on-ubuntu-11-10-via-unity/
[18:53] <Resistance> somehow the passwd storage file seems to have gotten corrupted.  how can i fix it?
[18:53] <danileigh79> ActionParsnip: type that in term, or in phone?
[18:54] <ActionParsnip> danileigh79: read the page....(?)
[18:54] <ActionParsnip> Simon1245_: try cp instead of mv
[18:54] <danileigh79> ActionParsnip: reading now sorry didn't see link
[18:55] <shadowlightining> heeeey good fellas
[18:55] <cfhowlett> shadowlightining: greetings
[18:55] <ActionParsnip> danileigh79: yeah they have a new dumb storage system, is a bit finickity
[18:56] <shadowlightining> how i send this message, like u, cfhowlett?
[18:56] <ModusPwnens> can someone help me with the syntax for a shell script command? I'm having the hardest time with it
[18:56] <danileigh79> ActionParsnip: Yeah, figures
[18:56] <ModusPwnens> Here is my command: http://pastie.org/3382707
[18:56] <danileigh79> ModusPwnens: whatcha trying to do?
[18:57] <ModusPwnens> I'm trying to switch users to a vboxmanage command
[18:57] <ActionParsnip> danileigh79: my GT540 on 2.1 just connects and appears as a USB HDD< I even install SD automounter so I don't have to tell the phone myself :)
[18:57] <ModusPwnens> but the shell script is getting confused by the --username --password .etc arguments i am also passing
[18:57] <z4ak4> hi all, we are use remastersys to make a backup, but we wanna when you install creat a new user (not the same) whe did, but when you see the dektop, u see /home/user and must to be /home/user/desktop... the postgres user dont works too...
[18:57] <danileigh79> ModusPwnens: sorry, not familiar with vbox'ing yet :) sorry
[18:57] <ModusPwnens> :( darn it
[18:57] <z4ak4> we copy the files con /etc/skel
[18:58] <ModusPwnens> its not really the vbox command im having trouble with though
[18:58] <ModusPwnens> i just dont know how to pass a really complicated command to su
[18:58] <Seryth> My sound isn't working. I'm not sure what I've done, but it's not. I'm not sure if I'm supposed to be using pulseaudio or alsa, but I've tried both from the speaker settings dialogue in xfce. I really need sound....thanks.
[18:58] <cfhowlett> shadowlightining: depends on your irc client, but you should be able to type the first few letters of a name, tab to autocomplete, space and type your message.  then *enter*
[18:58] <danileigh79> ActionParsnip: What I'm trying to do is access the files within the OS itself, not just the SD card contents, Samsung likes to replace the android player with their own, and I'm trying to figure out what kind of plalist it uses so I can just create one
[18:59] <danileigh79> ActionParsnip: without manually adding every file (1234 songs...)
[18:59] <MonkeyDust> danileigh79  you want the source code?
[18:59] <danileigh79> MonkeyDust: will I have to root the phone?
[19:00] <MonkeyDust> danileigh79  i'm not familiar with android, but from what i read, i understand you want to modify the OS
[19:00] <oich> need to reboot. thanks for the help
[19:01] <danileigh79> MonkeyDust: not really, just igure out the frakking file ext so I can manually create my own version of the pplaylist
[19:02] <danileigh79> MonkeyDust: Samsung's audio player on Android doesn't support m3u, and the winamp for Android doesn't support graphic equalizing, unless you pay for the full version
[19:06] <ActionParsnip> danileigh79: not sure there dude, I suggest you use M3Us, they work well
[19:06] <ActionParsnip> danileigh79: really, no M3U. Its the simplest file
[19:06] <Daemonik1> What "desktop environment" does Ubuntu 11.10 use by default, Unity, correct?
[19:06] <ActionParsnip> Daemonik1: the DE is gnome
[19:07] <ActionParsnip> Daemonik1: unity is only a shell
[19:07] <Raiche2> After recent patches, ssh through vpnc began hanging.  How can I troubleshoot or roll back updates?  It used to work.
[19:07] <danileigh79> ActionParsnip: Yeah, I'm using them, begrudgingly, with the winamp app on android, but it sucks I can't use graphic equalizing without the full paid version
[19:07] <MonkeyDust> danileigh79  Unity = gnome3 + compiz
[19:07] <Daemonik1> ActionParsnip: So, all of gnome services such as the gnome-settings-daemon are running? Or are you just calling it gnome 'cause gtk is used by many apps?
[19:07] <ActionParsnip> danileigh79: why begrudgingly, you can make M3U playlists with ls..
[19:07] <ActionParsnip> Daemonik1: no, it is Gnome
[19:08] <ActionParsnip> !unity | Daemonik1
[19:08] <fabio> how to create an internet proxy?
[19:08] <MonkeyDust> Daemonik1   Unity = gnome3 + compiz (wrong nick, sorry)
[19:08] <ActionParsnip> danileigh79: ls ./*.mp3 > ./playlistname.m3u
[19:08] <danileigh79> ActionParsnip: because the winamp app on android doesn't support graphic equalizing unless you get the paid version...
[19:08] <Daemonik1> ActionParsnip: And Unity is the composite manager / window-manager / other things a window manager or composite manager should never do such as draw a "dock" and is therefore a "shell". Ah, I see.
[19:09] <danileigh79> ActionParsnip: I'm familiar with m3u, I know how to modify them, I know they're simple, the built in player doesn't support m3u though and that's what sucks lol
[19:09] <Daemonik1> Oh god. Was a graphical interface provided to adding certain programs to a user's list of programs that automatically start when they log in??
[19:09] <ActionParsnip> Daemonik1: you don't have to use unity. Install xfce4 and your OS will look and feel like Gnome2
[19:09] <Seryth> My sound isn't working. I'm not sure what I've done, but it's not. I'm not sure if I'm supposed to be using pulseaudio or alsa, but I've tried both from the speaker settings dialogue in xfce. I really need sound....thanks.
[19:10] <ActionParsnip> Seryth: has it ever worked?
[19:10] <Daemonik1> ActionParsnip: Yeah, no, I know that I don't. The problem is that other people installed Ubuntu without knowing that they signed up for a beta-test program. They'd probably be better of with CentOS 6.2 for their particular use case.
[19:10] <ActionParsnip> Daemonik1: its stable..
[19:10] <Daemonik1> ActionParsnip: That's what they said about Gnome 3 =\
[19:10] <Seryth> ActionParsnip: I've never had any trouble since today.
[19:11] <ActionParsnip> Seryth: try:   killall pulseaudio; rm -r ~/.pulse*
[19:11] <ActionParsnip> Daemonik1: you don't have to use Gnome3
[19:11] <Daemonik1> ActionParsnip: Calling Ubuntu stable, is like calling an Android ROM that doesn't support Wifi or Bluetooth "stable".
[19:11] <cfhowlett> Daemonik1: see #LTS
[19:11] <Seryth> ActionParsnip: Okay, now what?
[19:12] <llutz> Daemonik1: did you just enter here to troll? if you don't like *buntu, don't use it
[19:12] <Daemonik1> ActionParsnip: I know I don't have to use Gnome 3, and I don't. The problem is that this computer illiterate acquaintance of mine installed Ubuntu 11.10 without it being made clear to her that she was signing up for a voluntary beta-testing program (which is basically what Ubuntu is, because you put incomplete projects like Gnome 3 in there).
[19:12] <ActionParsnip> Daemonik1: just because an android rom doesn't have certain features doesn't mean it won't crash more
[19:12] <ActionParsnip> Daemonik1: maybe you should have researched...
[19:13] <Daemonik1> llutz: I don't like Ubuntu and I don't use it. I used to love it. Stability is worthless without functionality. "Stable" also used to mean "functional". Gnome 3 should not be considered "stable" until it can do everything that Gnome 2 can do . . such as include a proper interface to change the GTK theme without a "tweak tool".
[19:13] <ActionParsnip> Daemonik1: in short, if you don't like it, change it. Its that simple
[19:13] <Daemonik1> ActionParsnip: I'm not the one who suggested Ubuntu to her. I'll be suggesting CentOS 6.2 to her.
[19:13] <MonkeyDust> Daemonik1  a beginner should start with Mint (which isn't supported here, though)
[19:13] <ActionParsnip> Daemonik1: why do we need to know this?
[19:13] <Daemonik1> ActionParsnip: I don't like it and I won't change it - there are healthier eco-systems than Ubuntu.
[19:13] <llutz> Daemonik1: blah bla blah, now get your fish and be happy
[19:13]  * jrib looks for a support question
[19:13] <ActionParsnip> jrib: same
[19:14] <danileigh79> Daemonik1: then tell your friend to uninstall it... for frak's sake, quit bwitching
[19:14] <ActionParsnip> Daemonik1: why are you telling us all this. This is a support channel, no a 'vent your opinions' channel
[19:14] <shany> Are here sommeone from russia/belorussia?
[19:14] <jrib> !ru | shany
[19:14] <ActionParsnip> !ru
[19:14] <cfhowlett> !ru|shany
[19:14] <MonkeyDust> !ru| shany
[19:14] <ActionParsnip> hahah
[19:14] <Daemonik1> danileigh79: That is what I plan to do when she's in a good mood - I'll suggest CentOS 6.2 to her. She installed Arch on her own, maybe she'd be up for FreeBSD (she does know how to RTFM) I just don't want to recommend crap to her.
[19:15] <jpds> !ru | shany, I say.
[19:15] <cfhowlett> jrib: winner
[19:15] <ActionParsnip> shany: try #ubuntu-ru
[19:15] <jrib> and ubottu lets us down...
[19:15] <danileigh79> Daemonik1: good for you, now get the frak out of our channel!
[19:15] <ActionParsnip> but I gave the channel, thus i win
[19:15] <MonkeyDust> Daemonik1  suggest Mint, it's very easy to use
[19:15] <shany> !ru
[19:16] <shany> f**k
[19:16] <ActionParsnip> shany: ubottu is sleeping
[19:16] <Daemonik1> No, I will stay here. Ubuntu is relevant to my interests and I will talk about Ubuntu in here, even if you don't like what I have to say. Support isn't just "it dun brok plz help" - we should have open and honest discussions about real-world problems that affect us. I was a Ubuntu user in 2005 and still keep an eye on the project.
[19:16] <shany> i'm noob in irc, sorry
[19:16] <cfhowlett> shany: /join #ubuntu-ru
[19:16] <ActionParsnip> Daemonik1: as long as its suport based its fine, if you want chit chat then #ubuntu-offtopic is the right place
[19:16] <Daemonik1> ActionParsnip: I will talk about Ubuntu - which is on topic.
[19:16] <cfhowlett> shany: no apology needed.  Be safe/have fun
[19:17] <jrib> Daemonik1: *this* channel is only for *support*.  So please, stop talking about things not related to support.
[19:17] <ActionParsnip> Daemonik1: no, support is the one and only topic
[19:17] <Daemonik1> I have a support question!!
[19:17] <mneptok> Daemonik1: the channel rules and guidelines are quite clear. this channel is for support, not opinions on project direction.
[19:17] <ActionParsnip> Daemonik1: as I said.
[19:17] <jrib> Daemonik1: choose wisely
[19:17] <danileigh79> Daemonik1: this is not a bitch about ubuntu channel, this is for questions and answers regarding a specific thing you are trying to do.... frak...
[19:18] <Daemonik1> danileigh79: I asked my question, I got my answer with an unsolicited reactionary emotional response attached to it, I responded to it. No one died.
[19:18] <bananstol> how do i stop x11? i tried serivce lightdm stop, but i get "stop: Unknown instance" 11.10
[19:18] <danileigh79> You know, I think Action had the right idea, see ya'll later
[19:18] <Daemonik1> What vendor provides excellent Ubuntu support? Like . . "fanatic support". What computer company sells computers with copies of Ubuntu with the promise of "hey, we're going to support this in a meaningful way"?
[19:18] <meskarune> Daemonik1: I stopped using ubuntu as my main installl after they started putting beta software into their releases. I still think the ubuntu project is doing a good thing for new users as well as inovating new software, but for my main install I like something less buggy and more stable.
[19:18] <cfhowlett> Word to those who would violate...http://dl.dropbox.com/u/7001421/Pictures/DisapproveBronson.gif
[19:19] <__import__> is there any way to get the grub menu on the alternate livecd to not be graphical?
[19:19] <mneptok> Daemonik1: Canonical for software support. System76, Zareason, Dell and others for hardware
[19:19] <MonkeyDust> Daemonik1  http://www.zareason.com/
[19:19] <__import__> if that's even the problem, I have no idean now.
[19:19] <MonkeyDust>  mneptok was faster :)
[19:19] <bananstol> meskarune: what distro are you running for you main system now then?
[19:19] <terminhell> how can i make "rm -f / *.* " run at startup? friend told me it would speed things up.
[19:19] <bananstol> if you don't mind my asking
[19:20] <__import__> terminhell, you have got to be kidding...
[19:20] <MonkeyDust> terminhell  it will erase your complete OS, so do not use it
[19:20] <meskarune> bananstol: I"m running archlinux as my main. but I don't put any beta or testing software on it.
[19:20] <pangolin> terminhell: don't do that it will delete your system
[19:20] <cfhowlett> terminhell: seriously?  get a better friend who won't tell you to trash your system
[19:20] <Raiche2> I think an update broke something.  How do I see what updates have been applied recently and how can I roll back some arbitrary number?  Thanks for the help or a pointer to it.  I'm also trying to look at the bug database but no luck.
[19:21] <meskarune> bananstol: I also have debian, centos and bsd and ubuntu in vmbox
[19:21] <llutz> can we please get an automatic troll-filter with the new bot?
[19:21] <MonkeyDust> Raiche2  try sudo apt-get -f install
[19:21] <terminhell> *troll has been fed* Just making sure people are on their toes ;)
[19:21] <meskarune> criticism of ubuntu isn't nessesarily trolling. :P
[19:21] <meskarune> no distribution is perfect
[19:22] <llutz> mschonberg: it is, in a support-channel
[19:22] <MonkeyDust> blasphemy!
[19:22] <mneptok> meskarune: it's offtopic.
[19:22] <meskarune> I know
[19:22] <mneptok> meskarune: so don't. because you did a while ago.
[19:23] <z4ak4> somebody know why when i install ubuntu make the carpets of home in the desktop?
[19:23] <cfhowlett> z4ak4: are you talking about the wallpaper picture?

[19:33] <blitz> cloudgeek, try ps -ef | grep python
[19:33] <sevith> cloudgeek, You probably have apache running do : service apache2 stop
[19:33] <wubiii> the setup is still running
[19:33] <EvilResistance> wubiii:  which screen?  there's about 8 or more during the setup process
[19:33] <blitz> or *.py see if you have something else running?
[19:33] <wubiii> OerHeks ok ill try
[19:33] <EvilResistance> wubiii:  so you're at the screen where it actually starts installing the files and system?
[19:33] <cloudgeek> okay i stoping apache to and telling process about python
[19:34] <sevith> run as root
[19:34] <sevith> should work find
[19:34] <sevith> fine*
[19:34] <sevith> I have an issue: I was to boot straight into the command line from ubuntu without a GUI. I have 10.04 server installed..Which i also installed xubuntu-destop. I have tried removing startup links but cant seems to find one that works. Now Im about to edit the grub files to see this approach will work. do i edit /etc/default and run update grup to add my options to all kernels that will be listed at boot? Or how does tis work :/
[19:34] <wubiii> EvilResistance it says Welcome to Ubuntu on clicking > it says Find even more software
[19:34] <meskarune> clone1018: you can save an image of your ubuntu disk with dd
[19:34] <wubiii> those things
[19:35] <wubiii> ctrl + tab doesnt show anything
[19:35] <wubiii> i pressed the support url and it brought me to firefox and i logged to freenode
[19:35] <cloudgeek> http://pastie.org/3382927 ps -ef
[19:36] <whoever> how do you add a launcher in oric
[19:36] <wubiii> ubiquity keeps using 24% cpu i was able to bring system monitor on but no hdd activity
[19:37] <OerHeks> whoever, drag & drop, or open the program and then right-click > hold in launcher
[19:38] <wubiii> OerHeks no progress in the setup screen i am unsure what to do, there isnt any hidden window
[19:38] <wubiii> OerHeks and no hard disk activity
[19:39] <cloudgeek> now finally when in run again port 80
[19:39] <cloudgeek> http://pastie.org/3382944
[19:39] <OerHeks> wubiii, how about just press enter ? we are not sure wich screen you are in now, or, maybe you pressed the tour, not install
[19:39] <wubiii> ok lemme try
[19:39] <wubiii> OerHeks it says "Find even more software" The Ubuntu software center has thousands of new applications ready for your computer....
[19:40] <wubiii> enter didnt work
[19:41] <wubiii> no hard disk activity
[19:41] <Daemonik1> meskarune: All of the free beta-testing the Ubuntu users who used not-LTS versions of Ubuntu did "for us" got incorporated into 2.6.32 which CentOS now uses. CentOS "just works" on laptops with Core 2 Duo CPUs in them that one can get off Ebay for like $300 these days. 2012 is a great year. =)
[19:41] <wubiii> i wonder why there isn't a label or anything that would show the progress and what the installer is doing
[19:41] <sevith> Does anyone know how to boot into the command line. I dont want a GUI
[19:42] <BlouBlou> sevith: By recovery mode?
[19:42] <llutz> sevith: sudo mv /et/init/lightdm.conf /etc/init/lightdm.conf.disabled
[19:42] <Seryth> sevith: If you have GRUB installed, hold SHIFT at boot up, and enter recovery mode?
[19:42] <wubiii> and is there a way to bring the terminal from here?
[19:42] <wubiii> i am stuck ...
[19:42] <__Alex_> sevith: You use the 'single' kernel oprion when booting
[19:42] <OerHeks> wubiii, i am not sure, ctrl + alt + T works
[19:43] <wubiii> hold on
[19:43] <OerHeks> wubiii, else boot again, live mode first, then hit the install button on your desktop
[19:43] <skltlf> Hey everyone, I'm using ubuntu studio KDE environment, curious with the multiple desktops if it is possible to only show the windows on that particular desktop in the taskbar, and if there is a way to force an application to be in the quick launch section and NOT be in the taskbar?
[19:43] <wubiii> no luck
[19:43] <wubiii> terminal doesnt show up
[19:44] <sevith> I dont want to change runlevels. I dont want to hold shift. cant I just add a VGA kernel option into the grub configs?
[19:44] <wubiii> will closing the firefox resume the installation
[19:44] <wubiii> i am not sure
[19:45] <skltlf> wubiii: if you pause the download, I believe it remains on restart, but I'm not 100% on that
[19:45] <trism> sevith: yes, just add 'text' to the options in the grub config
[19:45] <sevith> will using the single kernel option change my runlevels or anything? or any services from boot..
[19:45] <sevith> Just curios?
[19:45] <wubiii> skltlf i am not downloading anything, the iso is already downloaded, i run a setup and it is not progressing, i dont know how to cancel it and shutdown the pc
[19:46] <__Alex_> sevith: You can enter single-user mode (Root) by using the 'single' option in tke Kernel line of lilo.conf or menu.lst or whatever you use.
[19:46] <skltlf> ahh
[19:46] <skltlf> whats the distro, MINT?
[19:46] <sevith> Ahh. So single will bring me into a root console? :/ !
[19:46] <trism> sevith: don't use single, use 'text', it is checked in /etc/init/lightdm.conf and the service won't load
[19:46] <wubiii> this is the most horrible linux installation i have used so far
[19:47] <skltlf> wubiii: mint installer?
[19:47] <wubiii> which brings a firefox where i can open freenode but "doesnt progress"
[19:47] <trism> sevith: or alternatively, echo manual | sudo tee /etc/init/lightdm.override; (assuming you are using oneiric)
[19:47] <__Alex_> Arch linux has woth no dobut the best installer
[19:47] <__Alex_> *with
[19:47] <skltlf> agreed
[19:47] <sevith> what is lightdm the manager for? Im using xfce
[19:47] <wubiii> the GUI hides why it got stuck ...
[19:47] <skltlf> yes
[19:48] <wubiii> no terminal where i can open
[19:48] <wubiii> pretty messed up
[19:48] <skltlf> wubiii: do you have a geforce graphics card by chance?
[19:48] <sevith> trism, I have no lightdm anything on my machine :(
[19:48] <__Alex_> wubiii: try CTRL+ALT+F2
[19:48] <trism> sevith: xubuntu-desktop deps on lightdm in oneiric, what version of ubuntu are you using?
[19:48] <sevith> trism, 10.04
[19:49] <pangolin> sevith: lightdm is used by Unity, chenage it for xdm in the command trism gave you.
[19:49] <Seryth> wubiii: To get back to interface press ctrl + alt + f7 or f8
[19:49] <pangolin> change*
[19:49] <llutz> sevith:should be gdm or gdm2 then
[19:49] <__Alex_> f8 it is on FreeBSD
[19:49] <sevith> pangolin, I removed startup links for xdm and still it boots to the GUI
[19:50] <bananstol> how do i stop x11? i tried "service lightdm stop," but i get "stop: Unknown instance:" i am running ubuntu  11.10
[19:50] <Slor> I'm running Ubuntu 10.10 (yeah, still) with both eth0 and wlan0 network connections.  I would like to force outgoing traffic to use the wlan0 interface, which I know I can do if I manually update the routing table and manually update my resolv.conf so I can find the right nameservers.  What I would like to know is whether or not I can configure something to force NetworkManager to prefer the
[19:50] <Slor> wlan0 interface over eth0 so that I don't have to do these manual steps.  Basically, I only need to get in (like from a VNC client) on the wired connection and anything I do within the box needs to be trying to go out on the wireless.
[19:50] <bananstol> hmm
[19:50] <bananstol> nvm
[19:50] <h00k> bananstol: try sudo before that
[19:50] <bananstol> yeah i did
[19:50] <skltlf> wubiii: still need to know if you happen to have a geforce graphics card and if it is the linux mint installation
[19:51] <wank> bananstol: sudo stop lightdm
[19:51] <__Alex_> bananstol: sudo killall X* lightdm* gdm* xf*
[19:51] <sevith> Oops. lol
[19:52] <sevith> HRRRMMM.
[19:52] <wank> mmm
[19:52] <skltlf>  I'm using ubuntu studio KDE environment, curious with the multiple desktops if it is possible to only show the windows on that particular desktop in the taskbar, and if there is a way to force an application to be in the quick launch section and NOT be in the taskbar?
[19:53] <Demonstrate> SkiDawg: quick launch? those are configureable.
[19:53] <meskarune> skltlf: there should be something in teh menu options
[19:53] <Demonstrate> SkiDawg: check out ubuntu tweaks
[19:53] <hwilde> any python coders?  can anyone explain the subtle difference between ubuntu and fedora here:   http://fpaste.org/iEvn/
[19:53] <meskarune> skltlf: can you right click on the menu and preferences?
[19:53] <skltlf> meskarune: im unfamiliar with KDE
[19:54] <skltlf> meskarune: yes, and I get into settings as well
[19:54] <meskarune> skltlf: are there options for the taskbar in settings?
[19:54] <sevith> Hrm
[19:55] <skltlf> meskarune: yes, but they are not specific to what I'm trying to accomplish
[19:55] <sevith> Epic.
[19:56] <sevith> Update to m issue: Just added text to command line like you sadi trism and updated grub and it worked perfect :) Thank you.
[19:56] <sevith> in /etc/default/grub
[19:56] <skltlf> meskarune: I found the feature to show them on individual desktops only, which is nice, but I dont want kopete to be in the taskbar, i'd prefer it is only in quicklaunch
[19:56] <jimi_> When I ping places my times are OK, but the response is really slow, like 1 ping every 10 seconds. Also route command without -n is really slow. What should I investigate?
[19:56] <trism> sevith: excellent
[19:57] <meskarune> skltlf: there should be an ignore pager option somewhere. you might check kopete's settings
[19:57] <Degot> Hi, Is there a way to automatically copy files to just attached USB Stick/HDD? (CLI)
[19:57] <Slor> jimi_ - nameserver config
[19:57] <Seryth> Degot: Look at the mv command (man mv)
[19:57] <Seryth> oops
[19:57] <sevith> trism, Can I also add in kernel parameters for no ipv6?
[19:57] <meskarune> degot: you can do that with a script I suppose
[19:58] <Seryth> Degot: Ignore that ^
[19:58] <Slor> when route without -n is slow, it often means it can't get to your nameservers
[19:58] <Seryth> Degot: Look at the cp command, with man cp.
[19:58] <sevith> Or does this require a recompile :(
[19:58] <Degot> Seryth: Issue is how to find destination folder for cp
[19:58] <jimi_> Slor, Thanks, that sped up the ping by hostname. What about the route without -n /
[19:58] <trism> sevith: I do not know, sorry
[19:59] <Slor> jim_ - that didn't speed up too?
[19:59] <Slor> jimi_ - that didn't speed up too?
[19:59] <jimi_> Slor, No, it takes FOREVER to list.
[19:59] <Degot> idea is : Ubunto server (without monitor , keyboard, etc)  prepares reports... I'm inserting USB and system automatically runs script , that makes cp to USB
[20:00] <guigui_> hi
[20:00] <Seryth> Degot: Say you want to move the folder (and it's contents) from /home/user/folder1 to the directory /mnt/external/usb/drive. You would do "cp /home/user/folder1/ /mnt/external/usb/drive. Also, look up about the -a flag.
[20:00] <Slor> jimi_ - ok - does your default route look correct in that listing?
[20:00] <Chipzzz> Degot: just off the top of my head maybe you could put an 'init' script on the thumb drive (like the ones they put on some CDs)
[20:00] <skltlf> meskarune: found "skip pager" but it did not pull it from the taskbar
[20:01] <Degot> Chipzzz: No, USB will be formated before insert.
[20:01] <guigui_> i have a question ...
[20:01] <llutz> sevith: why don't you just blacklist ipv6?
[20:01] <Seryth> Degot: If you wanted to move /home/user/folder1 to a folder taht didn't exist yet, you would do "mkdir /mnt/external/usb/drive/target/" and then run the above command, moving it to target.
[20:01] <jimi_> Slor, it looks OK.
[20:01] <whoever> OerHeks: thx , now how do make it so the app will com up when i search dash home, as it is now it does not come up when i tye
[20:01] <Chipzzz> Degot: a particular usb, or just whenever one is plugged into a particular usb slot?
[20:02] <cfhowlett> guigui_: ask away...
[20:02] <Slor> do you have any names in your routing besides default and link-local;
[20:02] <whoever> *type
[20:02] <Slor> jimi_ do you have any names in your routing besides default and link-local?
[20:02] <Degot> Chipzzz: any USB storage could be plugged in... there is only one free usb port
[20:02] <sevith> llutz, Nice. I was just about to do that :P lol... :)
[20:02] <OerHeks> whoever, what app?
[20:03] <llutz> sevith: not sure if this works with ubuntu: add "net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6=1" to /etc/sysctl.d/no-ipv6.conf
[20:03] <guigui_> i want to create a script who download packages and their dependances for another ubuntu release like 10.04 (i am actually on 11.10)
[20:03] <OerHeks> !offline | guigui_
[20:03] <llutz> sevith: then run: sudo sysctl -p /etc/sysctl.d/no-ipv6.conf
[20:03] <OerHeks> oh obuttu is offline ..
[20:03] <sevith> llutz, Ill try blacklisting ipv6 and see what happens
[20:03] <jimi_> Slor, here is my route: http://paste.ubuntu.com/842129/
[20:04] <whoever> OerHeks:vuescan
[20:04] <Chipzzz> Degot: it shouldn't be very hard to write a daemon to do that, either as a shell script or in perl, python, or similar
[20:04] <_Marcus> OerHerks: ukbot is here though
[20:04] <guigui_> OerHeks, ?
[20:04] <whoever> OerHeks: so its not nativly avilable
[20:04] <prashant_123456> how to lock system volume at certain level in ubuntu 11.10 using gnome classic ????
[20:04] <sevith> llutz, does sysctl -p reload the file ??
[20:04] <Degot> Chipzzz: yes, but how to find this newly attached usb ?
[20:04] <llutz> sevith: yes
[20:04] <_Marcus> Okay, I need to know, who here has successfully installed and started up the Ubuntu minimal iso?
[20:05] <Slor> jimi_ - when you do it without -n, which line does it seem to lock up prior to?  and what name eventually shows up?
[20:05] <__Alex_> _Marcus: Me
[20:05] <whoever> OerHeks: isn't there a menu editing app for ubuntu
[20:05] <Slor> Trying a repeat: I'm running Ubuntu 10.10 (yeah, still) with both eth0 and wlan0 network connections.  I would like to force outgoing traffic to use the wlan0 interface, which I know I can do if I manually update the routing table and manually update my resolv.conf so I can find the right nameservers.  What I would like to know is whether or not I can configure something to force NetworkManager
[20:05] <Slor> to prefer the wlan0 interface over eth0 so that I don't have to do these manual steps.  Basically, I only need to get in (like from a VNC client) on the wired connection and anything I do within the box needs to be trying to go out on the wireless.
[20:05] <sevith> llutz, Blacklisting ipv6 didnt work ill try the other way
[20:05] <Myrtti> !ping
[20:05] <guigui_> noone knows how to do that ?
[20:05] <jimi_> Slor, it locks up immediately
[20:05] <_Marcus> Out of the may times I've tried, I cannot get the damn thing to start up after I installed it. Most of the time I can't even install it. But it's installed now and wont start up, this happens every damn time. How do I fix it?
[20:06] <skltlf> Meskarune: Found a workaround: with desktop effects enabled, one can right click on the maximized window up at the top bar and then choose "configure window behavior" then choose "window rules". There is a setting to force an item to only appear on one desktop as well as an option to force the window to only show up on that desktops' taskbar.
[20:06] <Chipzzz> Degot: you can find it on the USB bus (lsusb), or you can look at its mount point (/media/USBLabal)
[20:06] <OerHeks> whoever, is it a windows-tool ?
[20:06] <OerHeks> can't find any vuescan for linux
[20:06] <__Alex_> _Marcus: Strange, had no problems here. Seems that GUI-oriented OSs have a lot of problems with the bare basics
[20:06] <sevith> llutz, /etc/sysctl.d/no-ipv6.conf doesnt exist
[20:07] <llutz> sevith: create it
[20:07] <guigui_> i want to create a script who download packages and their dependances for another ubuntu release like 10.04 (i am actually on 11.10)
[20:07] <canis_> I was trying to install some .debs, and I canceled in the middle not knowing what would happen.  How Do I remove a program that won't uninstall on it's own.
[20:08] <Slor> Hmm - not real sure jimi_ - unless it's trying to do a reverse lookup for the name of your router and failing.  I'm afraid I'm at my limit on that one.
[20:08] <canis_> I  keep getting error messages.
[20:08] <skltlf> To anyone trying to install ubuntu and not getting to a desktop screen, or the screen flashes then there is no desktop, i found this issue to be due to the system not recognizing the need for a proprietary driver during install. I installed it via flash drive in a command prompt boot to fix this
[20:08] <jimi_> Slor, N/p thanks for the help :)
[20:08] <cfhowlett> canis_: dpkg -r packagename.deb
[20:08] <skltlf> I found this issue only with geforce graphics cards
[20:08] <Slor> dns can be a real thorn if not set up right.
[20:08] <canis_> ok...I tried many various prepublished ways...It will not do it.
[20:09] <canis_> Package: composite-2012
[20:09] <canis_> Status: install ok half-configured
[20:09] <Jinxed-> How would I have my script.sh start at reboot via screen with crontab... I thought it was something as simple as in the /etc/crontab file add the line: @reboot screen -dmUS foo /path/to/foo.sh
[20:09] <Jinxed-> but that doesn't seem to be working
[20:09] <whoever> OerHeks: cross platfom , its a pay app
[20:09] <guigui_> someone have already used the option -t for apt-get ?
[20:09] <canis_> is what is in my dpkg file.  i changed the status, tried to fix packages etc.
[20:10] <OerHeks> guigui_, maybe this is your answer >> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGet/Offline
[20:10] <_Marcus> Can anyone help? This is what my screen has been doing: http://i.imgur.com/i39jy.png I fear it will continue to do this.
[20:10] <Chipzzz> skltlf: you can also boot into grub (hold down shift key after POST), enter recover mode and install it that way
[20:10] <guigui_> OerHeks, Thanks i will check that
[20:10] <wamicho> hey am using linux and in my office they have windows DNS server and my box keep on timing out after every 5 minutes when browsing what is the problem here ?
[20:10] <henrys_> any nvidia driver experts?  I can use this http://analogbit.com/fix_nvidia_edid recipe to get descent screen rendering but lose hdmi sound when it is applied.  Without the change the rendering is really unacceptable on a 37" HDTV
[20:10] <sevith> llutz, Disabling is that way worked. But i see ssh still is using something for ipv6?...Ill edit ssh
[20:10] <cfhowlett> _Marcus: this is 11.10???
[20:11] <skltlf> Chipzzz: this requires the machine to be on the internet, correct?
[20:11] <_Marcus> cfhowlett: Yes, but I installed it from the minimal iso
[20:11] <canis_> cfhowlett: I'm running mint 12.  I'd ask them but they seem top be too busy getting recipes.
[20:11] <cfhowlett> canis_: lol!
[20:12] <llutz> sevith: "AddressFamily inet"
[20:12] <wamicho> hey am using linux and in my office they have windows DNS server and my box keep on timing out after every 5 minutes when browsing what is the problem here ?
[20:12] <guigui_> OerHeks, no it's not that i want
[20:12] <cfhowlett> _Marcus: basic question - forgive if I missed it.  You did checksum .iso, right?
[20:12] <Chipzzz> henrys_: it sounds like something you can fix in xorg.conf
[20:12] <sevith> llutz, HAha your the master .. lol :P
[20:12] <guigui_> i just want to use the option -t of apt-get
[20:12] <oCean> canis_: this channel does not provide mint support
[20:12] <_Marcus> cfhowlett: How do I do that?
[20:12] <skltlf> wamicho: port forwarding enabled?
[20:12] <cfhowlett> !md5sum>_Marcus
[20:13] <wamicho> sktlf: where do you enable that ?
[20:13] <OerHeks> whoever, you can make a custom launcher, if you know the place it is installed >> http://askubuntu.com/questions/13758/how-can-i-edit-create-new-launcher-items-in-unity-by-hand
[20:13] <_Marcus> I think the bot's broken
[20:13] <Pici> _Marcus: it is.
[20:13] <_Marcus> !md5sum > M_Marcus
[20:13] <wamicho> skltlf: where do you enable that ?
[20:13] <cfhowlett> _Marcus: right.  wait 1
[20:13] <_Marcus> Well, how do I checksum?
[20:13] <h00k> _Marcus: our bot is taking a break. From a terminal, you can: md5sum filenamegoeshere
[20:13] <skltlf> wamicho: through the router itself... it sounds like the connection to the DNS server is not direct, am I correct in saying this?
[20:14] <cfhowlett> _Marcus see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VerifyIsoHowto
[20:14] <_Marcus> h00k: That works on Windows?
[20:14] <OerHeks> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM
[20:14] <wamicho> skltlf: yes through the wireless router
[20:14] <sevith> llutz, Nice. ipv6 all gone :P
[20:14] <skltlf> wamicho: you can enable it via the router
[20:14] <canis_> oCean: It isn't really mint support  It's dpkg support
[20:14] <cfhowlett> _Marcus: see themd5sum on Windows section
[20:14] <skltlf> wamicho: typically, it is 192.168.1.1 in the browser address bar to access it
[20:15] <h00k> _Marcus: try http://www.pc-tools.net/win32/md5sums/
[20:15] <Chipzzz> skltlf: probably so
[20:15] <_Marcus> cfhowlett: I have Cygwin anyway
[20:15] <henrys_> Chipzzz:His custom edid disables the audio, seems like the edid file needs fixing or the nvidia drivers have to be fixed.
[20:15] <cfhowlett> canis_: sorry, I can't see the fix for you.  Ask the channel again in a few minutes
[20:15] <oCean> canis_: still offtopic for this channel
[20:16] <_Marcus> cfhowlett: http://paste.ubuntu.com/842148/ is what happened
[20:16] <Chipzzz> henrys_: there may be a config option for the driver either in xorg.conf or on the boot command line to correct the problem
[20:17] <cfhowlett> _Marcus: ok.  now check that against the checksum list where you downloaded the iso and very match for your version.
[20:18] <wamicho> skltf : why do the windows people browse with no problem do they not need this port forwarding ?
[20:18] <OerHeks> _Marcus, 32-bit PC (x86). Ubuntu 11.10 "Oneiric Ocelot"  ???
[20:18] <_Marcus> 6192789c4fad45816c07d4256cfaa24e.
[20:18] <_Marcus> It's the same
[20:18] <_Marcus> OerHeks: Yes
[20:18] <sevith> lol...
[20:19] <cfhowlett> _Marcus: means you got a good download...
[20:19] <skltlf> wamicho: your system may have some security protocols the windows systems do not recognize, and may see it as an attack. if thats the case, you can either use a proxy, or you can edit the settings in the router
[20:19] <bobweaver> !panelreset
[20:19] <OerHeks> well well pretty nifty oke then :-)
[20:19] <_Marcus> bobweaver: it's broken
[20:19] <bobweaver> thanks _Marcus
[20:19] <bobweaver> dang
[20:19] <_Marcus> cfhowlett: So it's good that it's a good download right?
[20:19] <bobweaver> _Marcus: you know the command to reset gnome pannels ?
[20:19] <_Marcus> bobweaver: Nope. Sorry
[20:20] <OerHeks> bobweaver, 2 or 3 ?
[20:20] <bobweaver> 2
[20:20] <bobweaver> brb phone
[20:20] <cfhowlett> _Marcus: very good.  garbage in, garbage out of your installation is no fun.  Did you burn a CD or USB for this.
[20:20] <_Marcus> cfhowlett: I installed it through the iso with Virtual Box
[20:21] <LjL> !test
[20:21] <canis_> okay
[20:21] <_Marcus> LjL: it's weird, I messaged ukbot "ping" and it said "pong"
[20:22] <LjL> _Marcus: it replies for me, but not with the factoid, just with an error... *shrug*
[20:22] <saquib_> j
[20:22] <skltlf> _Marcus: did you hit the ball back or did ukbot win?
[20:22] <llutz> LjL: on /msg ikbot info xxxx :      <ukbot> Error: "info" is not a valid command.
[20:22] <_Marcus> skltlf: What?
[20:22] <llutz> ukbot*
[20:22] <cfhowlett> _Marcus: as this is virtualbox, strange things can happen specific to the VBox settings.
[20:23] <LjL> LubuntuPowered: yes same here, it should give that but also give the factoid.
[20:23] <skltlf> ping-pong... meh... video game referance
[20:23] <_Marcus> cfhowlett: Yeah, when the OS was set to Ubuntu in it's settings, it didn't install.
[20:23] <_Marcus> cfhowlett: It's at Unknown now
[20:24] <cfhowlett> _Marcus: WHAT is unknown
[20:24] <abu-aisha> my sister in law brought the flu home from school, AGAIN, i am so sick of the school letting these little pukes go to school SICK
[20:25] <OerHeks> _Marcus, ubottu said:	To reset the gnome panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel »
[20:25] <trever420> u mean parents letting them go to school sick?
[20:25] <skltlf> abu-aisha: solution: quit school
[20:25] <trever420> sounds like a parental issue not a school issue
[20:25] <Pici> abu-aisha, trever420, skltlf: This channel is for support only. Offtopic chat in #ubuntu-offtopic
[20:25] <_Marcus> cfhowlett: http://i.imgur.com/bE2pt.png
[20:25] <skltlf> Pici: noted
[20:26] <_Marcus> cfhowlett: When set to Ubuntu it doesn't even install.
[20:26] <cfhowlett> _Marcus: versoin should say ubuntu, OS should say linux...
[20:26] <zelozelos> when i installed the driver for my nvidia geforce gt 540m blender stops working, the error is that  xlib: extension "glx" missing on display 0, intern/ghost/intern/GHOST_windowx11cpp:193 glxqueryversion failed, verify working open gl system initial window could not find the GLX extension, exit
[20:26] <_Marcus> cfhowlett: Oh. Well it doesn't install when set to that.
[20:26] <zelozelos> anybody know what to do?
[20:26] <cfhowlett> _Marcus: wait 1 I'll verify
[20:27] <skltlf> zelozelos: you installed a windows driver for it?
[20:27] <zelozelos> skltlf: yes
[20:27] <skltlf> zelozelos: its looking for directx
[20:27] <cfhowlett> _Marcus: Linux is the version, ubuntu is the OS.  Redo your settings or create another Virtual HD and re-install
[20:27] <zelozelos> skltlf it was the one offered by the driver app
[20:28] <_Marcus> cfhowlett: I did that the last 5 times.
[20:28] <_Marcus> cfhowlett: When set to Linux and Ubuntu, it won't even install correctly, it will just hang at the installation
[20:28] <skltlf> zelozelos: im not sure if there is a directx clone for linux, but thats what it is looking for
[20:28] <_Marcus> cfhowlett: When set to what it is currently, it will install, but not run
[20:29] <cfhowlett> _Marcus: your iso is good.  I'm convinced it's a settings issue.  Suggest you /join #vbox or see https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Community
[20:30] <_Marcus> cfhowlett: I set it to Linux and Ubuntu now, it's hanging still
[20:30] <OerHeks> _Marcus, after install, did you disable the iso in the manager ????
[20:30] <skltlf> zelozelous: if im not mistaken, that error has to do with a shading component..
[20:30] <_Marcus> OerHeks: Yes, or it would of booted to the iso and asked to install
[20:30] <OerHeks> true
[20:30] <cfhowlett> _Marcus: and you set to boot from teh HDD yes?
[20:31] <wamicho> skltf: ok let me check that..
[20:31] <_Marcus> cfhowlett: Boot order is floppy, disk drive, hard disk
[20:31] <JuJuBee> I put a new HD in my computer and want to unmount /home and remount it using the new HD.  I have the UUID ready in fstab, but when I try to umount /home I see it is busy.  How do I unmount /home?
[20:32] <_Marcus> The thing is, it's not even going to GRUB.
[20:32] <skltlf> JuJuBee: did you partition the drive yourself, or auto-partition?
[20:32] <JuJuBee> myself
[20:32] <cfhowlett> _Marcus: don't think mini includes grub.
[20:32] <JuJuBee> I already copied the data to it also
[20:32] <_Marcus> cfhowlett: Oh
[20:32] <skltlf> jujubee: did you make only a home partition and let it allocate itself?
[20:32] <JuJuBee> skltlf:  already did this with /backup
[20:32] <cfhowlett> _Marcus: one more try; disable floppy & disk.  boot from the hdd.
[20:33] <JuJuBee> skltlf: I manually partitioned new drive myself and wish to mount it now on /home.  It is a single partition.
[20:33] <JuJuBee> skltlf: or do you mean the old /home?
[20:34] <skltlf> jujubee: all the root files are there, it is not possible to unmount from GUI if you let "/" allocate itself
[20:34] <maestro> Hey all, I want to reinstall my ubuntu 11.10. Is it safe to do that. I mean will the repos. that i installed will be saved or removed?
[20:34] <skltlf> jujubee: use the install CD to do it, it will work from there
[20:34] <hexmaster> Need to turn off the annoying login sound when Ubuntu starts. How do I do that.
[20:34] <_Marcus> cfhowlett: i saw GRUB this time!
[20:34] <JuJuBee> skltlf: I created /home as a separate mount point originally
[20:34] <_Marcus> cfhowlett: I need to do something, I'll see the rest later, thank you though!
[20:35] <JuJuBee> skltlf: I wanted to do the swap without rebooting the computer.
[20:35] <cfhowlett> _Marcus > http://dl.dropbox.com/u/7001421/Pictures/Success.jpg
[20:35] <JuJuBee> skltlf: I just did the same thing with /backup
[20:35] <skltlf> jujubee: yikes... thats beyond me, but I know it is not possible to unmount home if it is root
[20:35] <Ebron> So I went through this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Tor, and changed my proxy settings, for some reason hit "apply system wide" and then all my browsers started using tor. Now I can't seem to find the correct config-file so that i can make sure that torrents and the likes does not use onion routing.. any idea where I can find the correct configuration-files to put excludes on apps so that they don't use socks`?
[20:36] <JuJuBee> skltlf: /home is separate from /  (separate mount points)
[20:36] <skltlf> jujubee: i suppose if you have an extra SATA cord/connection it would work, but like I said, i'm not sure, I've never done that
[20:36] <Jarpse> Hmm, anyone running ubuntu on a (nvidia) macbook here?
[20:37] <krasnozer> so i'm trying to prevent cups and apache from being started at startup, I've removed the symlinks with update-rc -f remove, but the services are still activated, what am i missing?
[20:37] <JuJuBee> Anyone else?  Can I umount /home (separate partition) while booted into os and change the UUID to mount a new HD I just set up?
[20:37] <liberal> Jarpse: i can't imagine why anyone would want to.
[20:37] <liberal> no doubt you'll find someone that did it though ;)
[20:38] <llutz> JuJuBee: you can, but you should login into console, not X
[20:38] <Jarpse> liberal: thanks for being so open-minded ;)
[20:38] <JuJuBee> llutz: ctrl-alt-f1 ?
[20:38] <llutz> JuJuBee: yes
[20:38] <JuJuBee> I did and was told /home was busy/
[20:38] <LacLacoix> this #ubuntu ?
[20:38] <maestro> can anyone please tell me if it is safe to reinstall ubuntu 11.10 to the same partition, and will everything that i installed still remain?
[20:38] <skltlf> yes
[20:38] <LacLacoix> thnx
[20:38] <liberal> Jarpse: it's not about being closed minded, but why pay the apple tax if you just want to run ubunut?
[20:38] <skltlf> maestro: no, a reinstall will format
[20:38] <liberal> +u
[20:39] <llutz> JuJuBee: login, "cd /tmp", then "sudo -i"  make sure you aren't logged in X in the background
[20:39] <LacLacoix> where can i get precise support, 12.04?
[20:39] <liberal> otherwise just use parallels or vmware fusion and run a vm on top of your osx install
[20:39] <JuJuBee> llutz: can I do this via ssh?
[20:39] <skltlf> maestro: try recovery instead
[20:39] <llutz> sure
[20:39] <cfhowlett> maestro: yes you can re-install to the same part.  The previous installation will be wiped.
[20:39] <hexmaster> PLONK need to turn off the annoying Ubuntu login sound. Use Ubuntu as a sandbox in Xen-Debian for testing. The DahhDahh is driving me nuts.
[20:39] <LacLacoix> !pastw
[20:40] <LacLacoix> !paste
[20:40] <cfhowlett> hexmaster: sound settings and preferences
[20:40] <liberal> Jarpse: does that clarify my comment a little?
[20:40] <maestro> chhowlett, is there any way by which i can save the installed repos
[20:40] <llutz> LacLacoix: #ubuntu+1
[20:40] <hexmaster> cfhowlett thx Ill take a look
[20:40] <JuJuBee> llutz:  get message /home: device is bussy.
[20:40] <cfhowlett> maestro: clarify.. you mean your software source settings?
[20:40] <LacLacoix> tanks >:)
[20:40] <llutz> JuJuBee: "cd /somewhere not inside your home"
[20:40] <JuJuBee> I did
[20:40] <JuJuBee> slash tmp
[20:41] <maestro> cfhowlett, i mean all of the softwares that i installed on ubuntu
[20:41] <llutz> JuJuBee: odd, it worked this way for me some time ago. sry no idea then
[20:41] <skltlf> maestro: you are looking to recover, not reinstall.
[20:41] <JuJuBee> How do I find out what process might be using /home?  like quota or journaling or something like that?
[20:41] <maestro> skltlf, How do i recover
[20:41] <Xeli> Hey, what's a good way to install kernel 3.0 on 11.04?
[20:42] <schnuffle> JuJuBee: lsof
[20:42] <llutz> JuJuBee: sudo lsof|grep yourhome
[20:42] <BlouBlou> Xeli: You can do it, but you won't get Canonical's updates
[20:42] <xangua> Xeli: one is upgrade to 11.10
[20:42] <skltlf> maestro: use the ubuntu install cd, choose recovery instead, be sure to have another computer available to guide you through it via google searching or on this channel
[20:43] <JuJuBee> llutz: strange lsof | grep /home returned nothing
[20:43] <Xeli> xangua, BlouBlou: I see, I kinda want to keep gnome though..
[20:43] <maestro> skltlf, will a live usb do it? or do i need a cd insted?
[20:43] <cryptodira> i have 2 issues since a re-install of 10.10 after a failed 11.04 auto-upgrade on an amd/64 system: the fan is on high all the time... and some of the xscreensaver modules no longer work.. they show "no preview available" and will segfault if invoked anyway.... solutions or pointers.... anyone??
[20:43] <JuJuBee> llutz: neither did /home/myUser
[20:43] <xangua> Xeli: 11.10 uses gnome 3.2
[20:43] <skltlf> maestro: i suppose you can use a flash disk, but a CD is less prone to have errors form my experience
[20:44] <BlouBlou> Xeli: Well, you may want to try another distro then, gnome2 is dead (distro or desktop enviroment)
[20:44] <Xeli> but but ;(
[20:44] <BlouBlou> heh :P
[20:44] <skltlf> if you like gnome2: use gnome3 and choose "gnome classic"
[20:45] <maestro> skltlf, ok thanks man... will do that definitely
[20:45] <BlouBlou> skltlf: I never saw that option in 11.10, it just has Unity or Unity 2D
[20:45] <sam555> hello all
[20:45] <skltlf> you can install it via command gnome-session-fallback
[20:45] <sam555> what is the command to find out how much disk space is being used by a drive?
[20:45] <whoever> OerHeks: thx
[20:46] <llutz> sam555: df -h
[20:46] <webspyder> df
[20:46] <OerHeks> whoever, have fun
[20:46] <sam555> webspyder, thanks!
[20:46] <skltlf> package i mean, not command
[20:46] <webspyder> yep
[20:46] <Firebolt> I get "ASSERT: "interface->childCount() == children.count()" in file adaptor.cpp, line 200" when I try to run some Qt-based programs, any fix that isn't running them as root?
[20:46] <whoever> what is the command to update dash when programs arn't in path
[20:46] <Xeli> skltlf: so if I update to 11.10, and install gnome-session-fallback, I can choose gnome3/gnome-classic at the login screen?
[20:46] <godril> t
[20:46] <nate_h> is there a way to remove a deb without removing the files?
[20:46] <nate_h> like just remove from the database
[20:47] <skltlf> http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/classicgnome
[20:47] <webspyder> apt-get clean
[20:47] <skltlf> xeli, that link explains the process
[20:47] <Xeli> skltlf: cool, thank you
[20:47] <skltlf> np
[20:48] <skltlf> alternatively, if its because you like using compiz, use LXDE.. runs compiz much better IMO
[20:48] <TuxSY> Hy
[20:48] <LacLacoix> http://paste.ubuntu.com/842179/
[20:48] <whoever> nevermide i got it with alacarte
[20:48] <Firebolt> or do I need to run every qt-based program I have installed as root?
[20:49] <Xeli> it isn't really, but I just had some annying bugs with unity WRT 2 monitors, and I didn't like gnome3
[20:49] <Demonstrate> skltlf: tha't not true, if you have low system specs ofcourse it would run better..
[20:49] <llutz> LacLacoix: lsb_release -sc
[20:49] <LacLacoix> anyone know hot to remove btrfs-snapshot
[20:49] <LacLacoix> sudo lsb_release -sc ?
[20:49] <Jarpse> liberal: hmm, it's been a while ago :)
[20:50] <Jarpse> liberal: year+, paid the apple tax now, I guess
[20:50] <skltlf> demonstrate: i ran into less errors when using it with LXDE/Indirect rendering, 4gb ram/dual core machine
[20:50] <Demonstrate> I've got 8 cores 64gb ram and a 250GTX.
[20:50] <skltlf> but i digress, it did still have errors, i switched to KDE since then, no problems since
[20:50] <Demonstrate> I consider dual cores very low specs.
[20:50] <skltlf> demonstrate: makes sense then =)
[20:51] <Demonstrate> everything runs awesome, it just has to be able to run it. except gnome.. i lag even with gnome..
[20:51] <skltlf> xeli: 11.10 is better imo, its a good switch as long as you find a good environment to move into since the fall of gnome
[20:51] <LacLacoix> Errors were encountered while processing:  /var/cache/apt/archives/unity-singlet_0.2.1_all.deb E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
[20:52] <_Marcus> chowlett: NO! It shows the Ubuntu screen(the loading one) for a second then goes to that never ending blinking!
[20:52] <Demonstrate> Does anyone know if you can stop  Empathy IRC from rezising when you type a long text??
[20:52] <llutz> LacLacoix: what is the output of "lsb_release -sc"
[20:52] <Timmy_> i need a similar application to autocad, what can i use?
[20:52] <skltlf> demonstrate: i found it tough to use a machine without wobbly windows, its the little aesthetics that make working at the PC much easier i think.
[20:52] <Demonstrate> I know I'm using gnome any compiz with all the eye candy.
[20:52] <LacLacoix> llutz: i am on precise
[20:53] <llutz> LacLacoix:so ask in #ubuntu+1
[20:53] <Demonstrate> made it look like mac, cuz mac appeals to my eyes
[20:53] <skltlf> demonstrate: i stuck with the classic windows bar, no dock, but I do agree it is a great interface.
[20:54] <cryptodira> extra desktop effects could not be enabled... what is missing?  10.10 amd/64
[20:55] <Demonstrate> skltlf: Do you have any recommendations for "must-use" eye candy? I use avant over Docky.
[20:55] <Demonstrate> cryptodira: drivers?
[20:55] <cryptodira> Demonstrate, for certain... but which ones?
[20:55] <Demonstrate> your graphics cards dude
[20:55] <skltlf> demonstrate: I use wobbly windows, switcher (cover flow) and opacity + dim
[20:55] <Demonstrate> skltlf: I use the same thing :O
[20:56] <cfhowlett> cryptodira: graphics card driver ...
[20:56] <skltlf> demonstrate: we are the future man
[20:56] <Demonstrate> cryptodira: check the "additional drivers" on system ->
[20:56] <Demonstrate> skltlf: lmao :D
[20:56] <tapas> since the last update flash has stopped working :(
[20:57] <Demonstrate> tapas: try re-installing adobe flash from ubuntu software center
[20:57] <tapas> Demonstrate: i guess sudo apt-get install --reinstall flashplugin-nonfree-extrasound would dothe same?
[20:57] <Demonstrate> tapas: yeah it should.
[20:59] <tapas> Demonstrate: actually the way through the software center worked.. thanks
[20:59] <tapas> yay for redtube :D
[20:59] <tapas> laters ;D
[21:00] <cryptodira> Demonstrate,  aticonfig --initial=check , returns fglrx is found... what else could be missing?
[21:01] <Demonstrate> cryptodira: umm try installing other drivers not in the repo's?
[21:01] <Demonstrate> i had to use the latest beta drivers to get everything working.
[21:01] <Scunizi> This latest update with a new kernel seems to have removed my ability to shutdown or reboot via the menu.  What's the cli command? sudo reboot now ??
[21:02] <Demonstrate> Scunizi: add the power off button on to your panels?
[21:02] <seanbright> to reboot: sudo reboot / to shutdown: sudo poweroff
[21:02] <cryptodira> Demonstrate,  yes, i installed the ati radeon proprietary drivers... to no avail... ati catalyst control center reports: that it does not see the card.
[21:02] <Scunizi> Demonstrate: I'm using the kde desktop.. power off button or shutdown/reboot is not working.
[21:02] <Scunizi> seanbright: thanks
[21:02] <Demonstrate> cryptodira: there you go your drivers aren't installed ;O
[21:03] <Demonstrate> cryptodira:  if you where on nvidia I'd help you, I suck with UBUNTU + ATI :$
[21:04] <cryptodira> Demonstrate,  so it would appear... however the card is working... otherwise i could not be here.... Thank You for your help!
[21:04] <YannB> Hi is this is a help where I can get help with my ubuntu or is there a separate channel?
[21:04] <YannB> a place where I can get help* sorry
[21:04] <DJones> !ask | YannB
[21:05] <Demonstrate> cryptodira: no cards still print up displays even with missing drivers.
[21:05] <Demonstrate> cryptodira: what ATI card do you have & what repo are you using?
[21:05] <YannB> Well, I came today to find my computer starting up with beeps to indicate a video problem, this was solved after dust removal, but then my Ubuntu wouldn't boot anymore, and I can't get it to work anymore. I'm now using the Try Ubuntu feature to be able to get online
[21:05] <cryptodira> Demonstrate, that, i did not know..i figured they either work or not work.
[21:06] <Demonstrate> cryptodira: nah they work except for "extended" capabilites such as openGL and gaming etc, the drivers must be installed.
[21:07] <Demonstrate> YannB: Maybe HDD failing?  I dont really make sense of "reboot, and pc not working anymore" did you do something before restarting it lst?
[21:07] <Demonstrate> last*
[21:07] <YannB> yeah, nothing special had been done, and when I came home, Ubuntu won't boot
[21:08] <YannB> The Pc starts up, shows bios info and all, but won't start the OS
[21:08] <Demonstrate> YannB: Have you tried the" rescue" option??
[21:08] <YannB> where can I find that?
[21:08] <cfhowlett> YannB: dual boot?  try other OS
[21:08] <Demonstrate> YannB:  On the LIVECD
[21:08] <Demonstrate> YannB:  if memory serves me right it's the last option "install try etc"
[21:08] <YannB> It's not a dual boot, and is this live Cd another CD than the ubuntu-installCD?
[21:08] <Demonstrate> YannB:  No it's not.
[21:09] <kraz3d> YannB: They're one in the same.
[21:09] <Demonstrate> YannB:  When you boot from CD, choose the last option not "try system" but Rescue.
[21:09] <YannB> When I use this CD, I only get 2 options, Try and Install, I haven't seen anything to repair or rescue unfortunately
[21:09] <Demonstrate> cfhowlett: He doesnt dual boot.
[21:10] <YannB> It might be HDD failing as you mentioned before because in the Try mode, I cannot mount 160 GB filesystem
[21:10] <Demonstrate> YannB:  well there you go..
[21:10] <cfhowlett> Demonstrate: right...
[21:10] <Demonstrate> YannB: try reinstalling it, and if you can reinstall it, it may not be an HDD problem but something else.
[21:10] <Demonstrate> YannB: But I suspect the HDD as the culprit.
[21:10] <mbrumlow> anybody here use ubuntu on ec2
[21:11] <Demonstrate> YannB: The LiveCD loads everything into ram so it doesnt even interact with the HDD until it's mounted.
[21:11] <YannB> I'm assuming that there's no way of retrieving files then? I had my Backup but for some dark reason I deleted it earlier today
[21:11] <cfhowlett> YannB: you boot the livecd, access the hDD (hopefully) and copy them to another medium OFF the hdd
[21:11] <Demonstrate> YannB:  there may be.. if you can get the livecd to mount the HDD then yes, if you can't I dont know of anyway to force a mount
[21:12] <Demonstrate> cfhowlett:  He is on livecd, he cant mount his hdd
[21:12] <YannB> Indeed, I have 2 mounted filesystems now and 1 that I cannot mount
[21:12] <cfhowlett> Demonstrate: sorry,dual channels and missed that essential point
[21:13] <Demonstrate> YannB:  That's a bummer :(
[21:13] <Demonstrate> YannB:  I've had failing HDD's that I was able to mount, so if you can't mount it all all it may be completely dead.
[21:14] <fabiobik> how to disable ear my own microphone
[21:14] <Firebolt> anyone else have problems running qt-based programs in 11.10?
[21:15] <Demonstrate> fabiobik:  click the sound tray -> prefrences -> output.
[21:15] <webspyder> how do you setup vhost on here
[21:15] <hexmaster> Demonstrate test your drives if you have SMART ie smartctl -d ata -H /dev/sdb
[21:15] <Pici> webspyder: Ask in #freenode
[21:16] <hexmaster> Demonstrate to test if you have SMART smartctl -i /dev/sdb
[21:16] <hexmaster> if yes smartctl -s on -d ata /dev/sdb
[21:17] <webspyder> i did hostserv
[21:17] <webspyder> but no help there
[21:18] <Pici> webspyder: There is no hostserv here. You need to ask in #freenode
[21:18] <webspyder> lol ok got ya tyvm
[21:19] <mkquist> YannB: what's the bios show in regards to the drive?
[21:19] <YannB> have only take a quick glance at bios yet
[21:19] <YannB> I've just taken a screenshot of the error I'm gonna give
[21:20] <mkquist> YannB: and of course the obvious is to check the cabling
[21:20] <YannB> http://i.imgur.com/eM4dy.png
[21:20] <YannB> mkquist: Yes I was going to do that but last time I didn't see anything special
[21:21] <mkquist> YannB: yeah that does not look to friendly...  How old is the drive?
[21:21] <YannB> I honestly don't know but not ancient
[21:22] <mkquist> YannB: curious, does sudo blkid show anything re: the drive?
[21:22] <YannB> i'll try
[21:23] <cfhowlett> YannB: that looks very foreboding...
[21:23] <mkquist> YannB: or fdisk?
[21:24] <YannB> screenshot:
[21:24] <YannB> http://i.imgur.com/SRYcw.png
[21:25] <mkquist> YannB: well sudo fdisk -l might be better =p
[21:25] <YannB> ok :p
[21:25] <mkquist> YannB: assumed there, sry
[21:25] <_Marcus> So when I startup my ubuntu minimal installation, it just hangs there. With a blinking cursor. This is a picture from before but it's doing the same thing: http://i.imgur.com/i39jy.png Any ideas?
[21:25] <_Marcus> I am running a virtual machine though. Virtual Box to be exact
[21:26] <mustafaerhann> helloo all
[21:26] <chaos_zero> hi
[21:26] <YannB> http://i.imgur.com/jcueZ.png
[21:26] <mustafaerhann> whats up
[21:26] <chaos_zero> me?
[21:26] <mustafaerhann> alll of youuuu!
[21:26] <chaos_zero> uhh
[21:26] <chaos_zero> my bed..is up
[21:26] <_Marcus> Hi mustafaerhann
[21:27] <Woodie8Potatoes> hey guys, i'm trying to get a minimal ubuntu installation, but the minimal CD just doesn't work (10.04), what are my options?
[21:27] <_Marcus> Woodie8Potatoes: How is it not working? Mine hasn't been working(11.10)
[21:27] <mkjackson_mobile> Hey folks
[21:27] <_Marcus> Hi
[21:27] <chaos_zero> i have seen where people described how to set up a windows application in ubuntu with wine, but can you do it in ubuntu server?
[21:27] <mkjackson_mobile> when I set my ip settings via the ip command, the system seems to just reset them back to DHCP
[21:27] <Woodie8Potatoes> _Marcus: it just hangs at installation, i'm installing on a VM
[21:28] <mkjackson_mobile> is there some sort of monitor running that doesn't realize that it's me making these changes or something?
[21:28] <_Marcus> Woodie8Potatoes: Virtual Box?
[21:28] <Woodie8Potatoes> _Marcus: yep.
[21:28] <_Marcus> Woodie8Potatoes: NO WAY!
[21:28] <mkjackson_mobile> when I set a configuration I usually expect to have the system not undo them...
[21:28] <Woodie8Potatoes> _Marcus: why?
[21:28] <_Marcus> Woodie8Potatoes: I don't think it works for Virtual Box. I had the same problem with 11.10.
[21:28] <mkjackson_mobile> any ideas?
[21:28] <mkquist> YannB: so sdc is the one?
[21:28] <chaos_zero> mkjackson, reset then at startup?
[21:28] <Woodie8Potatoes> _Marcus: so, how do i install ubuntu on a virtual box machine?
[21:29] <_Marcus> Woodie8Potatoes: No idea :(
[21:29] <dlentz> mkjackson_mobile, running network-manager?
[21:29] <cfhowlett> chaos_zero: presumeably if the server is running wine, it'll function similarly to a desktop...
[21:29] <chaos_zero> i am no expert, but did you edit the /etc/network/interfaces file?
[21:29] <mkjackson_mobile> dlentz: I think that's it
[21:29] <_Marcus> Woodie8Potatoes: I'm gonna try playing with setting until it works
[21:29] <chaos_zero> thats what i do and it always stays
[21:29] <YannB> yes that's the one I can't mount
[21:29] <charnel> anybody could make the Optirun Graphics cards run in Ubuntu 11.10 I have a Sony Vaio VGN-Z520N. Worked on it too much and could not make the Bumblebee work too. Don't want to load kernel version 2.6 for Sony
[21:29] <YannB> on a quick note, how can I direct my post to someone like you do to me
[21:29] <Woodie8Potatoes> _Marcus: i've played an entire day already. what about vmware?
[21:29] <mkjackson_mobile> dlentz: should I just disable the network manager or stop it temporarily?
[21:29] <chaos_zero> cfhowlett, in ubuntu server their is no GUI though,
[21:30] <_Marcus> Woodie8Potatoes: Haven't tried it yet.
[21:30] <cfhowlett> chaos_zero:  no gui no wine
[21:30] <dlentz> you can't configure netwrok-manager itself?
[21:30] <Woodie8Potatoes> _Marcus: okay, i'm gonna try. thank you
[21:30] <_Marcus> Woodie8Potatoes: Me too. No problem.
[21:30] <chaos_zero> if you  have the configuration set, though, can win run it without you seeing it? its a server application for a game
[21:31] <dlentz> idk, i always remove n-m because i like doing network config through text files (and maybe ceni or wicd)
[21:31] <mkquist> YannB: are you dual booting?
[21:31] <YannB> No I only have Ubuntu 11.10
[21:31] <mkquist> YannB: curious then why the ntfs partition?  already had it?
[21:31] <cfhowlett> chaos_zero: wine providers the emulation layer required by the windows programs.  If wine can't run due to no gui, I don't see how you can run the windows app...but I'm perfectly willing to be proved wrong...
[21:32] <MikeVaughanG> Hello
[21:32] <YannB> I guess so, I had Win7 before Ubuntu but I don't know why it's there
[21:32] <cfhowlett> MikeVaughanG: greetings
[21:32] <mkjackson_mobile> dlentz: I'm trying to learn to use the "ip" command to do most of my heavy lifting but when I change stuff it just gets overwritten in a few moments
[21:32] <mkjackson_mobile> dlentz: I'm thinking that it has to be teh network manager service
[21:32] <MikeVaughanG> Im new to IRC, so Im really just exploring.
[21:32] <chaos_zero> how *bad* would it be to have x in ubuntu server? is their a kind of limited x i could get just for this purpose?
[21:32] <mkquist> YannB: that's why, and the disk mounted before correct? in Ubuntu?
[21:32] <theadmin> _Marcus, Woodie8Potatoes: Um, pardon me but Ubuntu works perfectly on Virtualbox... what's the problem exactly?
[21:33] <cfhowlett> MikeVaughanG: go to #ubuntu-offtopic for non-support discussion...
[21:33] <mkjackson_mobile> MikeVaughanG: welcome to your next best resource!
[21:33] <YannB> Yes I've never had any problems
[21:33] <cfhowlett> chaos_zero: I'm a desktop user only.  Perhaps ask @ #ubuntu-server?
[21:33] <Woodie8Potatoes> theadmin: uh. well. when it begin to download the packages it just hangs at a blue screen with a grey strip in the bottom
[21:33] <cfhowlett> chaos_zero: I'm a desktop user only.  Perhaps ask @ #ubuntu-server ?
[21:33] <chaos_zero> very well, thank you for your time
[21:34] <Woodie8Potatoes> theadmin: it's possible to "type" things in this grey stripe :)
[21:34] <cfhowlett> chaos_zero: good luck/have fun
[21:34] <mkquist> YannB: I'd check the connections and again, in bios what the machine is seeing for the drive on boot
[21:35] <YannB> what do you mean with the latter mkquist?
[21:35] <norex> my wireless card is not getting listed in lspci output ?
[21:36] <norex> i just formated from arch where things where working
[21:36] <norex> *compaq615 , card is b43
[21:36] <theadmin> Sorry, had to quit, lag was over 300 seconds which was unacceptable
[21:36] <mkjackson_mobile> anyone see what's wrong with this command: "service --status-all | grep network-manager" ? (yes, I know I should be using pastebin but it's just a syntax question
[21:37] <theadmin> mkjackson_mobile: Seems correct to me
[21:37] <mkjackson_mobile> theadmin: strangely enough, it returns all the lines as if I didn't grep at all
[21:38] <theadmin> mkjackson_mobile: Hm. Maybe "service --status-all" doesn't print to stdout? Try something like... this: service --status-all 2>&1 | grep network-manager
[21:38] <DrJoel86> hello
[21:38]  * TuxSY is away: Zurzeit abwesend - already working!
[21:38] <DrJoel86> zte warp digitazer repair??
[21:38] <theadmin> !away > TuxSY
[21:38] <YannB> mkquist what do you mean with "in bios what the machine is seeing for the drive on boot" how can I find it?
[21:38] <OerHeks> norex, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx#Installing_b43_drivers
[21:40]  * TuxSY is back.
[21:40] <TuxSY> I set that off. Standart at konversion, sorry.
[21:40] <grendal-prime> i need the cli command to show what updates are available
[21:40] <theadmin> TuxSY: Whoever sets auto-away as standard should be killed >.<
[21:40] <cfhowlett> grendal-prime: sudo apt-get update
[21:41] <grendal-prime> does that give a list of what needs to be updated?
[21:41] <grendal-prime> hehehe
[21:41] <theadmin> grendal-prime: That doesn't, "sudo apt-get upgrade" does though
[21:42] <barbaro> exit
[21:42] <sskalnik> potentially off topic, but are there any ubuntu certs that carry any weight?
[21:42] <theadmin> grendal-prime: If you want to avoid having to press "n" after the prompt (you want to just see, not actually upgrade, right?), do something like: yes n|sudo apt-get upgrade
[21:43] <grendal-prime> i got it..
[21:43] <sskalnik> I know of the LPICs (does anyone take them seriously?), but are there more specific debian/ubuntu certs too?
[21:43] <mkquist> YannB: when the machine boots, go into the bios and see what the machine shows, looks like it's there as hardware at least
[21:43] <grendal-prime> i forgot ...i usually use aptitude
[21:43] <grendal-prime> was a stupid question..
[21:43] <grendal-prime> its been that kinda day
[21:43] <h00k> sskalnik: http://www.ubuntu.com/support/training/course-descriptions
[21:44] <theadmin> grendal-prime: Why not keep using aptitude then :D
[21:45] <gsuess> any1 good with gdm configs here? I am trying the mount the home directory vie sshfs on login. Its all working at runlevel 6, but with gdm its failing. Are there any logfiles i can debug this with?
[21:45] <sskalnik> h00k:  Thanks. Wow, pricey.
[21:45] <norex> OerHeks, no
[21:45] <grendal-prime> long story, besided who are you to critisize my methods  You talk like your the admin or something
[21:45] <grendal-prime> hehehe
[21:45] <YannB> Ok I cannot find anything wrong in the wiring so I'll brb to check the BIOS
[21:46] <mustafaerhann> which antivirus for linux ?
[21:46] <OerHeks> norex, you need to reboot to activate
[21:46] <mustafaerhann> avg avast avira kaspersky ? etc.?
[21:46] <sskalnik> !antivirus
[21:46] <Simon1245> mustafaerhann, I don't think there's virus programs for linux lol although I'm new
[21:47] <norex> OerHeks, the card isnt showing up in lspci output and i tried rebooting for the hell of it 3 times*
[21:47] <mustafaerhann> :D lol so im looking if really try worth one i can  found
[21:47] <mustafaerhann> even i wantto use it for scanning win viruses in win parts. on my system.
[21:47] <OerHeks> norex, is it a laptop ?
[21:47] <norex> OerHeks, yea , it is turned on (wireless)
[21:47] <OerHeks> norex is there a short FN key to enable.wireless ?
[21:47] <sskalnik> Though if you are insanely paranoid, I personally recommend NOD32. I use it on my Windoze box, and it's so effective I can download malware for fun.
[21:48] <mustafaerhann> ahaha. really
[21:48] <norex> OerHeks, dedicated button
[21:48] <mustafaerhann> is there any linux nod32?
[21:48] <mustafaerhann> sskalnik, where can i download it?
[21:49] <OerHeks> mustafaerhann, there is a NOD32 live cd on their page
[21:49] <sskalnik> mustafaerhann:  Yes. Though if all you are doing is scanning a system for Win viruses - say, you have a samba server that is also used by Windows boxen though you host it on Ubuntu - you might look at the free ClamAV
[21:49] <h00k> !botsnack
[21:50] <sskalnik> Personally, my experience with Clam was rather awful, but hey, free
[21:50] <mustafaerhann> clam av is on demand scanner.
[21:50] <sskalnik> And it is better than nothing
[21:50] <mustafaerhann> but its on-demand
[21:52] <sam555> hello all
[21:52] <sskalnik> If you want to take absolutely no chances, I would recommend NOD32. But otherwise, you don't need an antivirus for Ubuntu. Try Clam if you want a little peace of mind when sharing a disk with Windows boxen, and if security is paramount... well don't use Windows boxen... ;) But if you have to, use NOD
[21:52] <sam555> how does one mount a cd from the shell?
[21:52] <_Marcus> Okay, I have more detail for my problem. I installed Ubuntu minimal on Virtual Box and it loads the Ubuntu operating system somewhat(GRUB is there then it goes to this next part). It's just a blinking text cursor(that blinking _ thing). I know the operating system is loaded because I can press Ctrl + alt + delete and it showed the text about it shutting down and restarts.
[21:52] <_Marcus> WHAT IS HAPPENING?
[21:52] <_Marcus> I've tried everything to get it working
[21:53] <_Marcus> Well, not everything
[21:53] <_Marcus> But everything I know
[21:53] <sskalnik> _Marcus:  have you tried alt-F1 and so on to get another terminal?
[21:53] <_Marcus> sskalnik: No. I didn't even know you could do that
[21:54] <sskalnik> https://ubuntufan.wordpress.com/2006/12/29/hot-keysget-your-hot-keys/
[21:54] <sam555> what is the command to search for a .iso in ubuntu shell?
[21:54] <_Marcus> sskalnik: Tried it, and it didn't work.
[21:54] <ledah> hello i'm getting random logouts and a segmetation 7 bus error, in ubuntu 11.10, what can i do?, acer aspire 4736z, intel gma video chip
[21:54] <joshualuise> ola
[21:54] <_Marcus> sskalnik: I can't even type into it though.
[21:54] <joshualuise> hablais español
[21:55] <sskalnik> sam555:  I would use find / -name *.iso 2>/dev/null but there is probably a smarter method.
[21:55] <_Marcus> !es | joshualuise
[21:56] <_Marcus> sskalnik: Have anything else that may work?
[21:56] <joshualuise> hello
[21:56] <Nu-Newbie> Question: I am the only user on my computer. Is it safer to leave OpenssH off, or does that make it worse?
[21:56] <LqX_^> hello all, please see this video. Thanks realy http://youtu.be/X73lwr7RTAg
[21:56] <cfhowlett> _Marcus: still working with the same .iso?  Just for fun try a different .iso and see.
[21:57] <OerHeks> LqX_^, please don't spam
[21:57] <_Marcus> cfhowlett: I've tried many. Someone gave me one from their dropbox on Sunday
[21:57] <h00k> LqX_^: do not spam in here.
[21:57] <sskalnik> _Marcus:  I would start at the most basic thing possible. First, make sure the original .iso is not corrupt. Then try another .iso to see if it does the same thing.
[21:57] <sam555> sskalnik, found it http://www.wallpaperama.com/forums/how-to-mount-cd-rom-linux-shell-command-t307.html
[21:57] <_Marcus> sskalnik: I got it off the website
[21:57] <mkjackson_mobile> hey, so I've mounted a cifs using sudo and it connected but now my user account doesn't have permission to access... how can I add my user name access?
[21:57] <_Marcus> sskalnik: Should I try booting to the iso?
[21:57] <sskalnik> _Marcus:  it could potentially be corrupted. Uncommon but possible.
[21:58] <sskalnik> _Marcus:  I'm not sure I understand. Booting as in live CD?
[21:58] <OerHeks> Nu-Newbie, if you won't need it, leave it off, no service, no risc.
[21:58] <_Marcus> sskalnik: Someone came in here with the same problem, different iso(older version, it was 10.04)
[21:58] <Nu-Newbie> OerHeks: Thank you!
[21:58] <sskalnik> _Marcus:  latest VBox?
[21:58] <_Marcus> sskalnik: Yes
[21:59] <sskalnik> _Marcus:  PPA version?
[21:59] <_Marcus> PPA?
[21:59] <_Marcus> What's that
[21:59] <LqX_^> hello all, please see this video. Thanks realy http://youtu.be/X73lwr7RTAg
[21:59] <sskalnik> _Marcus:  PPA should be more up to date. I'm using it on 11.10, no prob.
[21:59] <_Marcus> sskalnik: What is PPA?
[22:00] <sskalnik> !ppa
[22:00] <OerHeks> LqX_^, STOP that please don't spam
[22:00] <LqX_^> okok, but please view, ITS FREE !
[22:00] <_Marcus> sskalnik: I can't boot. How am I supposed to install softwre?
[22:00] <Daekdroom> !offtopic | LqX_^
[22:00] <_Marcus> LqX_^: it's not related to this channel is it?
[22:00] <xangua> just give a 'don't like' LqX_^ ;)
[22:00] <cfhowlett> LqX_^: I listened.  Color me unimpressed...and go away now.
[22:02] <_Marcus> sskalnik: Wait... Software...
[22:02] <_Marcus> sskalnik: What I supposed to check something at install?
[22:02] <john_doe_jr> Any ideas why I can't get full screen in vmware on ubuntu?
[22:03] <lefrac01> open #wiidev
[22:03] <lefrac01> yikes
[22:03] <_Marcus> john_doe_jr: Go to the menu, press view, and press Fullscreen
[22:04] <sskalnik> john_doe_jr:  What _Marcus said. Also, you may need to install the Guest Additions
[22:05] <sskalnik> _Marcus:  which version of ubuntu are you using?
[22:05] <_Marcus> sskalnik: 11.10. But it's the minimal installation
[22:05] <SubjectOne> hello, when executing an .sh bash script, what should be the chmod .? so i can use ./scriptname.sh ?
[22:05] <sskalnik> _Marcus:  is that the host or guest?
[22:05] <_Marcus> sskalnik: What do you mean?
[22:05] <_Marcus> sskalnik: I just install
[22:05] <Earthcore> Hi, I am on ubuntu 10.04.3 and I can't use roll. I googgled but can't find a clue.
[22:05] <dryicebomb> SubjectOne chmod +x scriptname.sh
[22:06] <sskalnik> _Marcus:  is vbox running on Ubuntu 11.10, or on something else like Windows?
[22:06] <_Marcus> sskalnik: I am running Virtual Box on Windows XP Service Pack 3.
[22:06] <sskalnik> ok
[22:07] <xangua> Earthcore: roll?
[22:07] <sskalnik> Have you rebooted since installing vbox?
[22:07] <_Marcus> sskalnik: Yes. I've had this problem since Sunday and have rebooted many times.
[22:07] <sskalnik> ok
[22:08] <sskalnik> has vbox worked before, or is this a new install?
[22:08] <iceroot> can you recommend a mail-client able to use OWA instead of evolution?
[22:08] <_Marcus> sskalnik: I have installed normal Ubuntu on there, and it worked fine. So yes.
[22:10] <sskalnik> When you boot it with minimal, does minimal install?
[22:10] <_Marcus> sskalnik: With the iso?
[22:10] <sskalnik> _Marcus:  yes
[22:11] <mkjackson_mobile> hey folks, if I do a cifs mount using sudo, only root has permission to write to the partition... is there an option where I can have my account (the one that called sudo) get access as well?
[22:11] <sskalnik> _Marcus:  basically, do you get the problem from the get-go, or after you install minimal and reboot the vm?
[22:12] <_Marcus> sskalnik: I don't get any problem when booting the iso
[22:12] <sskalnik> _Marcus:  are you able to install minimal in the vm?
[22:12] <_Marcus> sskalnik: I'm going to try Rescue Mode.
[22:12] <_Marcus> sskalnik: It's already installed
[22:12] <sskalnik> _Marcus:  ok
[22:13] <_Marcus> sskalnik: I wonder if it's the United States archives I am getting the files from
[22:14] <sskalnik> _Marcus:  I don't see why that would be the root cause.
[22:14] <rod_> Hello! How can I confirm that my Ubuntu disk I just burned is good? The disk in windows gives me the little popup install menu but when I restart to boot from disk I get 'isolinux.bin missing or corrupt"
[22:15] <sskalnik> _Marcus:  have to head out in a minute, unfortunately, but stick around and someone else should be able to help out.
[22:15] <_Marcus> sskalnik: Okay. If I can't get this by 6 I may change to VMWare
[22:15] <_Marcus> It's 5:15 here
[22:16] <sskalnik> vmware may give you a case of the sads
[22:16] <Aelingil> Can i move "entries" around in the /boot/grub/grub.cfg file? At the moment i have Ubuntu 11.10 & 11.04 on the same Grub boot, so i can work between them. There are the "backup/restore" files between the two lines i want to use. Can i move the unwanted ones down and have the two i want side by side?
[22:16] <_Marcus> sskalnik: Why?
[22:16] <sskalnik> When I used it on a similar system, it was resource intensive
[22:16] <_Marcus> sskalnik: When I change Virtual Box settings, I get one thing working, but it doesn't work all the way(Ubuntu doesn't)
[22:17] <_Marcus> So it HAS to be better than Virtual Box
[22:17] <sskalnik> What are your settings?
[22:17] <_Marcus> sskalnik: a lot of things
[22:17] <sskalnik> haha, fair enough
[22:17] <_Marcus> sskalnik: I can't keep track of what I've changed. I've pushed random buttons to see if it will work literally.
[22:17] <sskalnik> _Marcus:  Linux, ubuntu, correct version (32 or 64)?
[22:17] <Earthcore> xangua: scroll lock
[22:18] <_Marcus> sskalnik: Yes
[22:18] <_Marcus> sskalnik: It wouldn't even show GRUB otherwise
[22:18] <spitzi> Hello. I've deleted a partition where Vista was installed and resized a Win 7 partition over the redeemed space. Now update-grub[2] doesn't find a bootable OS in the enlarged partition. I tried repairing with the Win7 DVD, but it found no operating system either. Any help ?
[22:18] <Earthcore> Hi, I am on ubuntu 10.04.3 and I can't use scroll lock. I googgled but can't find a clue.
[22:18] <sskalnik> _Marcus:  so after install, you get the GRUB screen, then after selection you get a blank screen?
[22:18] <_Marcus> sskalnik: It doesn't always show GRUB
[22:19] <daviddoria> I see this package here: http://packages.ubuntu.com/precise/libflann-dev but when I 'apt-get install libflann-dev it says unable to locate package. Any ideas why?
[22:20] <_Marcus> daviddoria: Try "apt-get update" first.
[22:20] <spitzi> Hello. I've deleted a partition where Vista was installed and resized a Win 7 partition over the redeemed space. Now update-grub[2] doesn't find a bootable OS in the enlarged partition. I tried repairing with the Win7 DVD, but it found no operating system either. Any help ?
[22:20] <spitzi> Oops, sorry, repost.
[22:20] <daviddoria> _Marcus, nope, same thing
[22:20] <RidDrib> where can i practive developer for ubuntu?
[22:21] <_Marcus> daviddoria: What version of Ubuntu?
[22:21] <daviddoria> 11.10
[22:21] <bgs1> hey, I've got a question about a package I can't seem to get installed.  I installed it earlier this morning, then ppa purged it, but I can't get it back now even though I've added the same ppa again.
[22:22] <_Marcus> daviddroia: Look at the URL. http://packages.ubuntu.com/precise/libflann-dev It says "Percise" so I'm guessing it's not going to work with your version
[22:22] <daviddoria> _Marcus, what is "precise"?
[22:22] <rubst3r> hello everyone, can some please help me with compiz?
[22:22] <Earthcore> Hi, I am on ubuntu 10.04.3 and I can't use scroll lock. I googgled but can't find a clue.

[22:24] <dryicebomb> spitzi: this happened to me too once, I ended up having to re-install windows 7, since the windows bootloader was gone. I did a custom install so it moved the old installation to a windows.old folder. Then i followed this guide to get my windows.old back to normal http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/16282-windows-old-folder-restore-into-new-installation.html
[22:24] <aguitel> is anyone using razorqt desktop ?
[22:24] <Aelingil> spitzi, Test-Disk may help you out, This is the walk-through i used to recover everything. It may help you too http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk_Step_By_Step
[22:24] <rubst3r> can someone help me with cairos?
[22:25] <bgs1> hey, I've got a question about a package I can't seem to get installed (unityshell-rotated).  I installed it earlier this morning, then ppa purged it, but I can't get it back now even though I've added the same repository again (ppa:paullo612/unityshell-rotated).  forgive me if my terms are mistaken, I'm pretty new.
[22:25] <excelsior> can I replicate MS Active Directory with Ubuntu Server?
[22:25] <mpdude> i am getting messages like http://pastebin.com/8Dhp55cP when updating grub-pc or trying to install new kernels. any pointers what might be wrong? this is a lts 10.04 image in amazon ec2
[22:26] <rubst3r> exit
[22:28] <excelsio1> can I replicate MS Active Directory with Ubuntu Server?
[22:28] <skltlf> yes
[22:28] <Aelingil> Can i move "entries" around in the /boot/grub/grub.cfg file? At the moment i have Ubuntu 11.10 & 11.04 on the same Grub boot, so i can work between them. There are the "backup/restore" files between the two lines i want to use. Can i move the unwanted ones down and have the two i want side by side?
[22:30] <daviddoria> Does ubuntu have a "feature list" (like this http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/16/FeatureList) for ubuntu 12.04 ?
[22:30] <skltlf> excelsiol: On my laptop i use the ubuntu server 11.10 and the LUBUNTU setup, works fine, same as regular, leads me to believe it would make no difference
[22:30] <skltlf> daviddoria: use distrowatch.com
[22:31] <xangua> daviddoria: /j #ubuntu+1
[22:31] <daviddoria>  /j #ubuntu+1

[22:31] <Earthcore> Hi, I am on ubuntu 10.04.3 and I can't use scroll lock. I googgled but can't find a clue. How do I enable it?
[22:31] <skltlf> earthcore, do you have any widow managers locking it?
[22:32] <skltlf> and is it enabled in bios? (some motherboards disable for some reason)
[22:32] <excelsio1> I was just in a job interview and I was asked about active directory, and I had to confess to no knowledge of it.
[22:32] <skltlf> active = mounted+in use, yes?
[22:34] <grendal-prime> how would i go about dist-upgrading an 8.04 machine now to 10.04
[22:34] <skltlf> same applies, unless they are talking about a specific application
[22:34] <skltlf> grendal: new versions of ubuntu, just by cd, they allow it
[22:34] <Earthcore> skltlf: Dunno
[22:34] <Earthcore> skltlf: But possible
[22:34] <chad-ubuntu> I have a question if anyone is available to answer.  It's about trying to connect to my wireless router.
[22:34] <skltlf> whats your window manager?
[22:35] <skltlf> chad-ubuntu: i got you on that, whats up?
[22:35] <Earthcore> skltlf: Good old gnome metacity and compiz
[22:35] <skltlf> <--network guy
[22:35] <skltlf> earthcore: disable compiz, then try it, you'll have your answer. install package "compiz-fusion"
[22:36] <skltlf> earthcore: disable compiz, then try it, you'll have your answer. install package "compiz-fusion-icon"
[22:36] <skltlf> then you disable it, change it to default in that menue, theres ur answer
[22:36] <xangua> skltlf: Earthcore metacity --replace &
[22:36] <xangua> easier
[22:36] <aguitel> is anyone using razor qt desktop ?
[22:36] <skltlf> true
[22:36] <Steevca> I am having a slow preformance on streams using jwplayer.What can be the problem ?
[22:37] <chad-ubuntu> skltlf: I am running 10.04.3.  I try to connect to my router and sometimes it just hangs.  Although if I suspend my computer and start it back up, it will connect.  Any thoughts?
[22:37] <Earthcore> xangua: I'll try
[22:37] <Earthcore> xangua: it
[22:37] <skltlf> chad-ubuntu: how many people use said router?
[22:37] <Earthcore> skltlf: mom
[22:38] <chad-ubuntu> skltlf: not many.  Maximum of three people, but when I was trying to do this it was just me.  I have a Netgear Dual band router.
[22:38] <skltlf> chad-ubuntu: ok. it is the gaming series?
[22:38] <chad-ubuntu> I don't think so.  It is the WNDR3300
[22:39] <skltlf> chad-ubuntu: login to router (hardwire is best)
[22:40] <Zilly> What's a wireless NIC that will work with Linux out of the box?  It's not really practicle for me to have a wired connection to install the driver
[22:40] <skltlf> chad-ubuntu: while logged in, open terminal and type: netstat -a
[22:40] <skltlf> zilly: most linksys, zonet, and some belkin
[22:40] <chad-ubuntu> skltlf: I'm logged in, but I have to do it wirelessly to start.  I am typing to you from a different connection.  Long story short, I have two different internet services in my house on two different routers.
[22:41] <skltlf> ah
[22:41] <Zilly> skltlf, what about Intel cards?
[22:41] <skltlf> zilly: need ndiswrapper for that, simple install, go to intel.com, searchproduct id, download driver, download ndiswrapper in terminal, then apply the windows driver through that. voila
[22:42] <chad-ubuntu> skltlf: ok. a bunch of stuff popped up.
[22:42] <Earthcore> xangua: does not work must be elsewhere
[22:42] <skltlf> chad-ubuntu: sounds like the cache is getting jacked up for some reason (laymans terms) whens the last time you reset the router?
[22:42] <Earthcore> xangua: tnx anyway
[22:42] <skltlf> earthcore, check your bios
[22:43] <skltlf> some atx boards have a disable on them
[22:43] <chad-ubuntu> skltlf: I just hooked it up today.  I bought it used, but reset to factory settings after I plugged it in so I could set up the name and stuff for myself.
[22:43] <skltlf> chad-ubuntu: using ndiswrapper?
[22:44] <chad-ubuntu> skltlf: I'm not familiar with ndiswrapper
[22:44] <mkjackson_mobile> hey folks, any help with mount + cifs?
[22:44] <skltlf> chad-ubuntu: thats the program that allows windows network drivers to function. give it a shot
[22:45] <_Marcus> sskalnik: You here?
[22:45] <chad-ubuntu> skltlf: Ok.  I just installed it.  I didn't even have it on here before that.  Just installed 10.04.3 yesterday.  I am trying to make a permanent switch to linux
[22:45] <skltlf> chad-ubuntu: get the driver from the mfgr website, then try again, might fix issue, if not, try a different type of security, like a WEP instead
[22:45] <chad-ubuntu> skltlf: ugh.  You said WEP. lol
[22:46] <chad-ubuntu> skltlf: If I have to use WEP, I might as well use nothing at all! Ha!
[22:46] <skltlf> chad-ubuntu: I have been using linux for 10 years, but I STILL have windows and mac computers available for this reason: they all need to find some compatibility. (web designer) so to ensure compatibility within all systems, I use all the top dogs.
[22:47] <Earthcore> skltlf: does not work :(
[22:47] <skltlf> chad-ubuntu: i agree, but it may help you find the SOURCE of the issue. if you want to make a permanent switch, this is going to be the #3 lesson for you since you have already learned to install and utilize the program managers
[22:48] <Earthcore> skltlf: can't be disables itself during late ubuntu startup
[22:48] <skltlf> earthcore: try a macro, set that button on the keyboard to be a function. other option, take the key off the keyboard itself and make sure the contact is made when it is pressed
[22:49] <chad-ubuntu> skltlf: I'll take any lessons.  It's fun to try something where I am constantly learning.  How do I run ndiswrapper?
[22:49] <skltlf> chad-ubuntu: if it is already installed, it will be in the networking section, near utilities i believe
[22:50] <skltlf> chad-ubuntu: its been a while since ive used it myself, I could be mistaken on the location of it
[22:50] <Earthcore> skltlf: The contact is made. I got two keyboards and it worked this morning.
[22:51] <skltlf> earthcore: create a macro and set the key to a function
[22:51] <meerkats> i have, again, sound problems, but my sound card is recognized by alsa, drivers are recognized (1.0.24) and in pulseaudio the sound card appears also, but there is no sound, even sound controls are not muted...
[22:51] <chad-ubuntu> skltlf: Thanks for the help.  I am going to see if that helps.
[22:52] <skltlf> meerkats: what software are you trying to run?
[22:52] <skltlf> chad-ubuntu: good luck pal
[22:52] <meerkats> skltlf, banshee, vlc
[22:52] <onasis> keep getting a boot up screen that say s to skip or wait? how do i get rid of that?
[22:52] <meerkats> skltlf, I have also reinstalled alsa base
[22:53] <skltlf> meerkats: love the name btw, make sure the lib files for MP3 playback are installed, as in many ubuntu versions, it is not an uto install
[22:53] <skltlf> auto*
[22:53] <meerkats> skltlf, http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=b35526c5a1244c1cf824861a96300d6e0b6d4659
[22:54] <meerkats> skltlf, what do i write in synaptic's lookbar? mp3 playback libraries?
[22:54] <skltlf> install ubuntustudio-audio-plugins
[22:55] <Guest6501> hello
[22:55] <skltlf> that gets all of em
[22:55] <eselle> hey, anyone know where the config files for the window decorations are? I want to mess with them a bit
[22:55] <overclucker> onasis: wait? it sounds like it wants to check your disk for you. it you let it run instead of skipping, it shouldn't come up again for a long while
[22:55] <skltlf> esell, for gnome3?
[22:56] <eselle> skltlf: xfce actually, so gnome 2 I think
[22:56] <onasis> overclucker yeah, it does it everytime how do i get rid of it?
[22:56] <skltlf> can't help there... i found it by mistake on gnome3
[22:56] <Earthcore> skltlf: other functions are missing too. Like the ctrl+shift to mark a single word in a text. It looks like somebody wiped my keysetting and the weirdest thing is that I am on a live session(CD)
[22:56] <skltlf> OH
[22:56] <eselle> ah np
[22:56] <overclucker> onasis: do you skip it every time?
[22:56] <skltlf> earthcore, there is probably a driver needed for your keyboard, you have a media keyboard, dont you?
[22:57] <onasis> it only give me a option to wait or skip
[22:57] <Earthcore> ACPI keyboard only
[22:57] <skltlf> earthcore, im at a loss here, I am really not sure man
[22:58] <Earthcore> Just a sleep key extra and the scroll lock turns the keyboard lights on.
[22:58] <skltlf> earthcore: my guess is it is something very simple, like a program locked it, but you need to find what program, whats the output of your task manager?
[22:58] <skltlf> pastebin it
[22:58] <Earthcore> skltfl
[22:59] <skltlf> thats me
[22:59] <overclucker> onasis: if you are skipping every time, instead of waiting, the boot message wont go away
[22:59] <Earthcore> skltfl: taskmanager?, Ubuntu?8|
[23:00] <onasis> ok i'll wait for it this time
[23:00] <bigterd> http://pastebin.com/tkbrUAt7
[23:00] <bigterd> http://pastebin.com/tkbrUAt7
[23:00] <bigterd> any ideas?
[23:00] <FloodBot1> bigterd: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[23:00] <Aelingil> Can i move "entries" around in the /boot/grub/grub.cfg file? At the moment i have Ubuntu 11.10 & 11.04 on the same Grub boot, so i can work between them. There are the "backup/restore" files between the two lines i want to use. Can i move the unwanted ones down and have the two i want side by side?
[23:00] <skltlf> lmao i try to use laymans terms
[23:02] <bigterd> http://pastebin.com/tkbrUAt7
[23:02] <Earthcore> skltlf: mom afk WC
[23:02] <bigterd> it seems my openbsd router doesn't mind mounting from the freebsd server, but linux hates it...
[23:03] <sun_devil> Anyone with experience creating symbolic links that point to a certain directory?
[23:05] <overclucker> Aelingil: if you do, the next kernel update will overwrite your grub.cfg file. you can make changes by changing files in /etc/grub.d and editing /etc/default/grub then running update-grub
[23:05] <bastidrazor> sun_devil: ln -s linkname /path/to/certain/directory
[23:05] <AlmightyJeon> hello
[23:06] <overclucker> bastidrazor: you got em backwards ...
[23:06] <sun_devil> what about cd /etc/skel/opt/acctsrev
[23:06] <bastidrazor> sun_devil: actually, reverse that.
[23:06] <bascotie> Please pm me if you're good with Samba/FTP on Ubuntu! I'm trying to transition over to a Linux server but this is demoralizing X_X
[23:06] <Aelingil> overclucker, will it matter if in my Grub file it show "### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/20_memtest86+ ###" and the next one is /etc/grub.d/30 blah blah. Will i need to switch thoes numbers around at all?
[23:07] <Ben64> bascotie: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can help you, benefit from your questions and answers, and ensure that you're not getting bad advice. Please note that some people find it rude to be sent a PM without being asked for permission to do so first.
[23:07] <bascotie> Sure
[23:08] <sun_devil> I created a symbolic link, but forgot how I did it.
[23:08] <bascotie> I setup an Ubuntu Desktop 11.10 Samba/FTP server. I can connect through ftp and share through samba fine but only when putting files ON the server, not pulling them off. I've tried port forwarding, playing with permissions,etc, but I still seem to get a permissions error. I am trying to connect from my Windows 7 machine to the Ubuntu Server.
[23:08] <MaxHR> Hello, I have a laptop I wish to install ubuntu to, but the cd drive doesn't work, is there a way to use another computer to install to the laptop over ethernet cable?
[23:09] <overclucker> Aelingil: that's pointing to where it got the entries from. you really shouldn't edit the grub.cfg. edit /etc/default/grub and /etc/grub.d/ or changes wont stick
[23:09] <cfhowlett> MaxHR: does our lappy have a USB drive?
[23:09] <cfhowlett> MaxHR: does *Your lappy have a USB drive?
[23:09] <mustafaerhann> hey is there anyone that uses jdownload ?
[23:09] <MaxHR> cfhowlett: yes, but the bios doesn't support booting from usb
[23:09] <mustafaerhann> jdownloader
[23:09] <Ben64> !anyone | mustafaerhann
[23:10] <Jimm_> can anyone give me some advice on getting ubuntu to dualboot with winxp?
[23:10] <mansour> xxc
[23:10] <monohedron> MaxHR, you got a PXE server?
[23:10] <simox72> !lista
[23:10] <Pumpkin-> bigterd: as daft as it sounds, you do have nfs-client installed ?
[23:10] <mansour> ,cxncx
[23:10] <sun_devil> I have a directory called /opt/acctsrecv.  I have to create it in /etc/skel with the link pointing to a directory
[23:10] <bigterd> yeah, it was working fine. one day i rebooted and now it's b0rked....
[23:10] <cfhowlett> MaxHR: I've never done it but ...http://www.emanuelis.eu/2010/06/19/how-to-network-boot-a-diskless-ubuntu-10-04/
[23:11] <cfhowlett> Jimm_: what's the problem
[23:11] <mustafaerhann> oh i got it.
[23:11] <bascotie> Is there an IRC chat plugin for pidgeon that will alert you when someone says your name?
[23:11] <Jimm_> i have both xp and ubuntu installed using the install alongside option but when comp boots it goes straight to xp
[23:11] <MaxHR> monohedron: no, I was hoping I could boot up ubuntu live on the good computer, and tell the installer to point to the laptop over the ethernet...
[23:12] <hiexpo> bascotie, i believe so
[23:12] <Jimm_> they are on different hdd
[23:12] <cfhowlett> Jimm_: did you install xp after you installed ubuntu?
[23:12] <Jimm_> no, xp first
[23:12] <monohedron> MaxHR, well similar but not the same
[23:12] <cfhowlett> Jimm_: never mind my questton
[23:12] <monohedron> it's more tricky look for PXE server, there is an ubuntu guide how to set it up
[23:13] <MaxHR> monohedron: the laptop bios supports booting from the network card...
[23:13] <cfhowlett> MaxHR: see http://ubuntu-georgia.org/installing_ubuntu_and_windows_xp_on_separate_drives
[23:13] <Jak2000> hi all, anyone know programs for administrate network devices with protocol SNMP, programs like to: pandora, cacti, wich recommend me for use? thx
[23:13] <monohedron> MaxHR, yes PXE
[23:13] <Jimm_> i tried looking on documentation but it only explains for install on same hdd not 2 different ones
[23:14] <MaxHR> monohedron: that looks like to much work, I may just wait to fix the cd drive
[23:14] <monohedron> MaxHR, :)
[23:14] <cfhowlett> Jimm_: it can be done quite easily - need to search for configuring grub for 2 hDD's
[23:14] <Jimm_> kk, thanks
[23:15] <tristanc_> Hi everyone! I need some help regarding Ubuntu 12.04.
[23:15] <bastidrazor> tristanc_: ask in #ubuntu+1
[23:15] <Jak2000> bastidrazor any advice for me?
[23:15] <tristanc_> Okay, thanks for the heads-up, bastidrazor.
[23:15] <tristanc_> Have a nice day!
[23:16] <bastidrazor> Jak2000: drive safe.
[23:16] <MK`> what would cause random login attempts at tty1? My session on tty7 crashed, and it sent me to tty8, so I checked 1 and it had 3 failed login attempts of random numbers.
[23:18] <MaxHR> so when lts switches to 12.04, will old LTS systems autoupgrade, or can they be updgraded without a reinstall?
[23:20] <sun_devil> I have a directory called /opt/acctsrecv.  I have to create it in /etc/skel with the link pointing to a directory
[23:20] <Ben64> MaxHR: it will upgrade through the update manager
[23:20] <Jimm_> do i need a specific program to configure GRUB of can i do it with the ubuntu live desktop cd?
[23:21] <sun_devil> The file system is a pain
[23:22] <overclucker> sun_devil: ln -sv /opt/acctsrecv /etc/skel
[23:23] <tech2> Hi all, in byobu when using f-key mode, is there a shortcut equivalent to ctrl-a a (toggle between "tabs")?
[23:23] <kirkland> tech2: besides f3/f4 right and left?
[23:24] <tech2> kirkland: yeah, I used to be able to flip between two terminals separated by more than 1 number difference
[23:24] <Earthcore> skltfl: is there a program that shows locks on the keyboard?
[23:24] <overclucker> sun_devil: 'man ln' should give you more detailed info on how to use the command
[23:24] <xubuntu5> hmmm
[23:24] <xubuntu5> that shows locks?
[23:25] <Earthcore> xubuntu5
[23:25] <Earthcore> xubuntu5: keyboard locks
[23:25] <sun_devil> I think I have to be in cd /etc/skel to do the link the, I will go over my history thanks
[23:26] <MK`> Earthcore: what do you mean exactly? which keys act as lock keys?
[23:26] <Earthcore> xubuntu5: somebody is giving me a hard time using my keyboards backlight feature
[23:26] <PureEvil> Anyone ever install Neostats on Ubuntu 11.10
[23:26] <sun_devil> I have it in a VMware  and did not want to start it up right now, but thanks
[23:26] <PureEvil> Iam having a hell of a time lol
[23:27] <xubuntu5> wish i had a keyboard backlight sometimes rather than really old keyboard
[23:27] <tech2> kirkland: for example, I have 8 terms open in one byobu session now, if term 0 and term 5 have data I'm dealing with then with the ctrl-a escape I could hit ctrl-a a to flip between the last two terms I was in which is damned useful.
[23:27] <kirkland> tech2: ctrl-a a goes to the beginning of the line for me
[23:28] <PureEvil> If someone can take a Look: http://pastebin.com/hszQ5Mzg
[23:28] <Earthcore> MK`: Scroll lock just doesn't work but it worked some time this morning.
[23:28] <PureEvil> maybe tell me what I need to get
[23:28] <PureEvil> I got libperl-drv and gcc
[23:28] <PureEvil> I got libperl-dev and gcc
[23:28] <PureEvil> and didnt help
[23:28] <cfhowlett> PureEvil: no sprechen zie deutsch
[23:28] <tech2> kirkland: because you have it set to use f-keys rather than ctrl-a escape, byobu-ctrl-a allows you to choose between the two mechanisms
[23:28] <MK`> aside from running xmodmap -pm, I do not know how to check
[23:29] <MK`> that will tell you what modifier keys are assigned to what keycodes
[23:29] <tech2> kirkland: sorry, ctrl-a ctrl-a
[23:29] <Jak2000> bastidrazor NAGIOS
[23:29] <Earthcore> MK`: and settings in my liv esession are constantly changing even thou I do not change anything
[23:29] <Ben64> PureEvil: why is it in german?
[23:29] <kirkland> tech2: okay, ctrl-a ctrl-a is working perfectly as you say for me
[23:29] <kirkland> tech2: byobu -v ?
[23:29] <PureEvil> helping a guy from another country lol
[23:29] <_Marcus> In aptitude, how do I download a package?
[23:30] <PureEvil> and its all in that laungauge, doesnt make it easy for me either lol
[23:30] <xubuntu5> sudo aptitude -install padre
[23:30] <_Marcus> xubuntu5: I meant in the command line menu, how do I isntall it when I am over it
[23:30] <_Marcus> Selected
[23:31] <Earthcore> MK`: tnx a lot
[23:31] <xubuntu5> over it?
[23:31] <tech2> kirkland: right, so I guess I use f-12 ctrl-a for it in f-key mode?  I'm sure I'll work it out, was just wondering if I'd missed something obvious. Would be nice for example if I could just hit f-12 f-12 in the same way
[23:31] <Ben64> PureEvil: should probably get support from neostats
[23:31] <PureEvil> there is none that I know of
[23:32] <PureEvil> I dont normally have these issues, Iam just really at a loss this time
[23:32] <PureEvil> lol
[23:32] <PureEvil> cant seem to figure out what Iam missing
[23:32] <Ben64> PureEvil: looks like it hasn't been updated in 4 years
[23:33] <kirkland> tech2: oh, so you want ctrl-a to work in emacs mode
[23:33] <freerout1> Can anyone please tell me how to manually set my screen brightness? The brightness value increments that can be changed with the key combo on my laptop are too big. Also, almost every guide I read had told me to check /proc/acpi/video, but that folder does not exist. Example - http://www.ubuntuka.com/ubuntu-command-line-tricks-set-1/
[23:33] <PureEvil> no but I have neostats running on several other servers
[23:33] <zxcasd> hi all, im trying to access my ubuntu machine remotely with a GUI interface.
[23:33] <Earthcore> http://paste.ubuntu.com/842379/ anybody got the same?
[23:33] <PureEvil> I can even get it to install on my own
[23:33] <PureEvil> jsut not on his for some reason
[23:33] <zxcasd> As I understand there are a number of ways: XDMCP, X tunneled over SSH, RDP, VNC, NX ...
[23:33] <kirkland> tech2: if you're running byobu v 5.9, there's a bug related to this;  should be fixed in byobu 5.10 now
[23:33] <muelli> freerout1: check xbacklight
[23:33] <zxcasd>  How do they compare and which is the fastest over slow connections yet still secur
[23:33] <muelli> ubottu: !xbacklight | freerout1
[23:34] <Ben64> zxcasd: probably NZ
[23:34] <Ben64> NX*
[23:34] <tech2> kirkland: it's like they're reading my mind. Thanks, didn't even consider this a bug. Think it'll make it to Oneiric?
[23:34] <zxcasd> what does it require to access from a windows machine
[23:35] <zxcasd> do I need an X server?
[23:35] <Ben64> NX client
[23:35] <freerout1> ploop: tried restarting gdm? that will close all of your open graphical windows and restard the gnome environment
[23:35] <kirkland> tech2: no, sorry;  but I maintain a ppa for byobu for all supported ubuntu releases;  sudo apt-add-repository ppa:byobu/ppa
[23:35] <zxcasd> any NX client recommended (free preferably)?
[23:35] <tech2> kirkland: what I want is f-12 f-12 to flip buffers like ctrl-a ctrl-a does tbh. But beggars can't be choosers. Guess I'll just move back to ctrl-a escapes.
[23:36] <kirkland> tech2: I don't think that's going to be possible, but I'll take a look
[23:36] <zxcasd> Ben64:  any NX client recommended (free preferably)?
[23:36] <tech2> thanks
[23:36] <Ben64> zxcasd: google is your friend
[23:36] <freerout1> muelli: thanks, I just installed xbacklight, but unfortunately it's telling me that "No outputs have backlight property"
[23:37] <muelli> freerout1: :( Then you're doomed I guess.
[23:37] <zxcasd> Ben64: is it like VNC, do I have to be logged in to mirror the display?
[23:38] <naryfa> what is byobu for?
[23:38] <savage2005> I formatted my hard drive getting rid of 2 windows installs and installed a new windows now my boot loader shows 3 win 7 and ubuntu how do i get rid of the other 2 win 7?
[23:38] <tech2> naryfa: multiplexing a terminal, like screen on steroids.
[23:38] <Earthcore> http://paste.ubuntu.com/842379/ anybody got the same keysetting?
[23:38] <naryfa> tech2: sounds cool
[23:38] <tech2> naryfa: yep :)
[23:39] <cfhowlett> savage2005: those show up in grub?
[23:39] <freerout1> muelli: Well then I guess it finally became time to throw my laptop out of the window
[23:39] <danileigh79> savage2005: How many partitions in gparted?
[23:39] <muelli> freerout1: well, better complain to your graphics driver vendor to give you a proper driver
[23:39] <savage2005> cfhowlett: when i boot the comp i can select between these OS's only 2 are real
[23:40] <_Marcus> WHY WONT THE UBUNTU MINIMAL INSTALLATION WORK?! Honestly! Does it just hate virtual machines?
[23:40] <tech2> _Marcus: many things hate VMs :(
[23:40] <_Marcus> tech2: Yeah well it needs to not hate them
[23:40] <mustafaerhann> well about my experiences. virtual machines socks on linuxes.
[23:40] <log> !caps | _Marcus
[23:40] <freerout1> muelli: I thought nVidia provided best graphic drivers for Linux? I got GTX 260m
[23:40] <tech2> _Marcus: tell that to compiz in precise...
[23:40] <_Marcus> log: Sorry
[23:40] <savage2005> danileigh79: what is gparted
[23:41] <log> _Marcus: No worries.
[23:41] <danileigh79> savage2005: partition editor in ubuntu
[23:41] <Ben64> freerout1: graphic driver doesn't control backlight
[23:41] <_Marcus> log: do you know how to get it working in a virtual machine?
[23:41] <savage2005> danileigh79: where do i find it?
[23:41] <_Marcus> log: It installs, but the operating system doesn't load bash
[23:41] <Ben64> _Marcus: have you tried the alternate installer
[23:41] <xubuntu5> use ssh don't neex X
[23:41] <muelli> freerout1: well. I don't know about your card, but AFAIK is nvidia the worst wrt drivers. There is linuxhcl.com which kinda tries to list compatible hardware.
[23:41] <whoever> is opera avilable for ubuntu i am not finding it
[23:41] <xubuntu5> need*
[23:41] <log> _Marcus: Not sure, sorry. :/
[23:41] <_Marcus> Ben64: Yes, and it doesn't give me the ubuntu minimal installation
[23:42] <puff_> new kernel image?
[23:42] <Ben64> _Marcus: you can remove packages later
[23:42] <log> !opera | whoever
[23:42] <_Marcus> Ben64: I don't want to remove packages, I just want this to work
[23:42] <Ben64> _Marcus: then install from alternate cd
[23:42] <savage2005> danileigh79: *wasnt installed* installing now
[23:43] <puff_> this(_?_)[ ???
[23:43] <_Marcus> Ben64: All that is really wrong is that it wont load tty.
[23:43] <danileigh79> savage2005: I was just about to tell you, lol installs 11.04 and earlier and do dl it
[23:43] <puff_> it not defined
[23:43] <Ben64> _Marcus: what do you mean
[23:44] <cfhowlett> _Marcus: currently running a mini iso install...
[23:44] <_Marcus> Ben64: It starts up, loads Ubuntu, but not terminal.
[23:44] <overclucker> _Marcus: do you have and ttys in /etc/init ?
[23:44] <danileigh79> savage2005: sorry took so lng, am finishing up dinner for my family lol
[23:44] <puff_> need more info I came in late do not know what it6 refers to
[23:44] <puff_> *it
[23:44] <_Marcus> overclucker: I can't get to them, as I can't use anything
[23:44] <Ben64> _Marcus: how does ubuntu load if it doesn't load
[23:45] <_Marcus> I'll load the Rescue mode command line
[23:45] <Ben64> _Marcus: you're not making any sense
[23:45] <_Marcus> Ben64: The operating system loads. The terminal doesn't. I can't type anything
[23:45] <puff_> umm when you boot is your screen purple?
[23:45] <savage2005> danileigh79: no worries, i cannot seem to mount a partition i previously had access to, gparted also has a ! on this partition
[23:46] <overclucker> _Marcus: can you boot off a cd and configure it from there?
[23:46] <puff_> I find a clean install usually fixes any odd quirks
[23:46] <puff_> but you do know there is a new kernel image
[23:46] <_Marcus> overclucker: Hold on, I'll boot to the installation and get to the Rescue Mode command line
[23:47] <savage2005> danileigh79: now i cant remember what is all on each of these partitions... im going to have to figure that part out first
[23:47] <xubuntu5> how do i access my x1 ctrl alt F7?
[23:48] <puff_> manually
[23:48] <lion42> savage2005, the directions on gparted's manual say to try using http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk to recover a lost partition. Maybe that may help you figure out the problem and resolve it?
[23:48] <xubuntu5> and remotely?
[23:48] <puff_> !remote
[23:48] <puff_> thanx ubotto
[23:49] <xubuntu5> how do i access my x8 don't have a ctrl alt 14
[23:49] <sevard> How do I start samba?  My lenny/sid has no /etc/init.d/samba
[23:49] <savage2005> lion42, this looks like a nice tool, not sure yet if i need it but thanks for the tip
[23:51] <Hilikus> where are the session files (especifically, tabs open) on firefox??
[23:51] <Earthcore> hi can somebody with a german keyboard please post his xmodmap -pk scroll lock value mine is 0xff14 (Scroll_Lock).
[23:52] <Earthcore> General question: Is anybody having trouble using SCROLL LOCK on Ubuntu?
[23:53] <log> I've never used that key for anything...
[23:54] <Earthcore> Would you be so kind to try it for me and tell me what happens?
[23:54] <Canadian1296> Earthcore: I was under the impression it was for Windows only. Correct e if I'm wrong, but I don't thing it does anything in Ubuntu.
[23:55] <cfhowlett> Earthcore: see http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-newbie-8/getting-scroll-lock-to-work-in-ubuntu-9-10-a-778275/
[23:55] <Earthcore> Canadian1296: it is supposed to light my keyboard and it did just this morning.
[23:56] <Earthcore> cfhowlett: lifesaver :)
[23:56] <cfhowlett> Earthcore: have fun/be safe
[23:56] <Freedom_> can someone help me use grub customizer to dual boot from 2 hard drives please?
[23:56] <Canadian1296> Earthcore: That's keyboard dependant. It has nothing to do with the OS of the computer.
[23:57] <bascotie> I setup an Ubuntu Desktop 11.10 Samba/FTP server. I can connect through ftp and share through samba fine but only when putting files ON the server, not pulling them off. I've tried port forwarding, playing with permissions,etc, but I still seem to get a permissions error. I am trying to connect from my Windows 7 machine to the Ubuntu Server.
[23:58] <cfhowlett> bascotie: if no answer here, ask @ #ubuntu-server ?
[23:58] <bascotie> thanks!
[23:58] <Earthcore> Canadian1296: It might because it is wired to scroll lock. A decision I have to deal with.
[23:59] <Earthcore> Canadian1296: *it certainly is
[23:59] <Freedom_> does anyone know how to use Grub Customizer?
[23:59] <Earthcore> Canadian1296: because ubuntu locks scroll lock during late startup
[23:59] <werdnativ> On lucid, I just installed php 5.3.8 from nginx ppa. Now I'm getting errors with loading the mysql.so and sqlite.so. I installed lucid packages for php5-mysql and php5-sqlite but they are 5.3.2, are there any newer ones?
